Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings in the name of Christ!
How are you doing, church? Are you feeling rather mellow for the year that has passed or are you getting really excited for what is ahead? Well, we have finally come to the last weekend of 2009! Like it or not, it is not going to come back. I know it feels like 2009 has just flown by. But just like every other year, it has 365 days as well. The question is, have you have spent your days wisely? Did you fulfill all that you have set out to achieve? Did you do all that you planned to do?
As we come to the last lap of this year, I want to encourage all of us to take some time out and evaluate what we have achieved and what we failed to accomplish. It is very important that we learn to take stock so that we can do better in the coming year and do not make the same mistakes again. Life on earth can be very meaningless and miserable if we only know how to take one day at a time.
Friends, let me encourage you to live differently in the coming year. Don’t take life too easily. Don’t take things too easily. We need to learn to seize our days. Life on earth is not exactly long. Make every day count. Do things that are meaningful. Learn to love. Learn to forgive. Move on quickly. Don’t get stuck in the past. On another note, I also want to encourage you to learn to budget your finances well in the coming year. Put visions to your money. Give them an assignment. Don’t simply spend what you have. Learn to save up. Learn to invest. Kick out the habit of compulsive buying. Live with discipline.
It is VERY unwise to overspend. In doing so, we will find ourselves working for the bank for the next 5 to 10 years. Church, let us be a debt-free church. Let us learn to live with a greater purpose. All of us only have one life to live so let’s learn to live it to the fullest for the glory of God!
2010 is going to be our best year yet!
Relevantly Engaging,
KEV
