The world has there hope in a better 2021. As if once we reach midnight, things will be suddenly better.
We are a blessed nation. This pandemic may be new to us, but there is nothing new under the sun. King Solomon wrote, "There is a season for everything..." and we know seasons change and this will pass, too.
There is so much hope going into New Year's Eve and we bring traditions with us. New Year's resolutions, cultural traditions such as pork & sauerkraut at midnight, champagne toasts, we countdown to midnight, we make some noise in celebration, and we kiss those we want to be kissing in the new year. Traditions are fun and they are fond memory makers. And sometimes we go to bed before it strikes midnight, I have a 10 a.m. strength training class.
We always want a better new year, but have we learned from the past in order to make it actually better? Are we taking the golden nuggets of what we know what works, ridding our lives of things that we know doesn't, praying like it depends on God, and working like it depends on us? That's where real change happens.
It isn't a wish we make, it's about having gumption. It's putting our faith, hope, and prayers in God and the willingness to work towards what's important to us we want to see come into fruition in our lives.
Too many are putting their hope in 2021. When 2021 is going to start off looking and feeling a lot like 2020. Perhaps it would help if they they sing "Auld Lang Syne." Does anyone really know the words to this song anyway? ha ha
Tonight the world will be celebrating and that brings it's own thrill of excitement. I'm excited too.
Our generation will always remember 2020.
Don't put your hope into 2021... but, God.
Happy New Year
