We’ve seen a lot this year. Hatred and division, acceptance and hope. Through it all, the one constant, has been Jesus. He has never left us or forsaken us. He is the same today as He was yesterday. Our strength when we are weak and our courage when we are afraid. As we begin a New Year, let us strive to be more like Jesus. To love more, serve better, stand stronger and care constantly. This is our calling…This is a New Year!
