Ending the Year on a Mighty High

"This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." – Psalm 118:24 (ESV)

Reflecting on the Year
As we come to the close of another year, we pause to reflect on all that has been—the highs, the lows, the victories, and the challenges. Some moments tested our faith, while others reminded us of God's unfailing love and grace. Through it all, one thing remains constant: we are still here, still breathing, and still blessed.

December is not just the end of the year—it is also the season in which we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. His coming into the world is a reminder of hope, redemption, and the boundless love of God. No matter how difficult the year has been, we can take comfort in knowing that Emmanuel—God with us—has never left our side.

Praying for Safe Travels
As many embark on journeys to visit loved ones or explore new places, we lift up a prayer for travel mercies. May the Lord guide every step, protect every traveler, and bring everyone back safely to their homes.

"Heavenly Father, we thank You for carrying us through this year. As we step into a new season, we surrender our plans to You. Protect those traveling, comfort those in need, and fill our hearts with gratitude and joy. May we always remember the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. In His name, we pray. Amen."

No matter what lies ahead, we trust that God is already there, preparing the way. Wishing you a blessed and joyful holiday season!
