Happy New Year, fellow Newtonians! We hope you all had a wonderful, restful holiday season enjoying time with friends and family. For many of us, each new year comes with new goals and new opportunities, a chance to start anew after the holiday dust settles. We’re all back at work or school feeling refreshed, recharged and resolved to take on what the new year brings us.
New Year’s resolutions often focus on cutting back or doing less of something (less sugar, screen time, caffeine, etc.), which is probably why our resolve often fizzles out. This year, what if we focus on more instead? Give more smiles and hugs. Have more family dinners and game nights. Get more fresh air and eat more fresh veggies. Drink more water and take more walks. Love more, laugh more, create more. You get the picture. If we focus on filling our lives with more of the good stuff, there should naturally be less room for the other stuff, right? Here’s to doing more in 2020. Let’s make the most of it!
Each story in this issue speaks to the transformative power of faith, hope and love, and we’re excited to share them with you. We’re also excited to see what the Lord has in store for the coming year. Whatever changes it may hold, one thing will stay the same: our love for and commitment to our community.
May the Lord bless and keep you.
