Well we took our Christmas Decorations down at Wesley UMC today. Kind of sad to make the sanctuary look so empty. Is that how you feel after the decorations are all taken down, sad and empty, unfortunately when our focus is on all the secular trappings we can feel like the end has come, but it really is the beginning, the birth of the one who gives us life. So the Christmas season is over but life goes on. It can be life full of promise, hope, peace, joy and love. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ, celebrating His life, can help each of us have lives more meaningful and peaceful. This Sunday is Baptism of the Lord Sunday. Remembering our Baptism gives us time to reflect on that time in our lives that we were committed to Christ. If you committed your life to Christ through your Baptism you may want to ask the question of yourself, Am I still convicted? We can say we are children of God because of our baptism but how we live our life shows the depth of our conviction. Take a little time this week to consider how you walk the walk and talk the talk of Christianity. Give glory and honor to your God by the life you live.
God’s Peace and Blessings, Randy
