2021.12.26 Joe Helg (The Year That Was)

When asked to sum up the past year in three words or less, some of the responses were: Humorous: Go To Sleep;  Oven’s Finally Clean Serious: Very Bad Year; Year of Reckoning Telling: Challenging Testing Blessings; Very Blessed Year  Encouraging: Blessed Family Compassion; God is Gracious; Our God Reigns or Worrisome: Uncertainty Isolation Lonely Something I want you to consider when you think on these assessments of the past year. That the challenges, changes; the testings & reckonings; the uncertainties & doubts; that 2021 brought us, ALSO brought the same opportunities to discover & find blessing; grow in compassion & graciousness; grow in intimacy with the Lord and through which our ; FAITH in GOD’s SOVEREIGN REIGN could be experienced too.
