Welcome
Wednesday December
31st, Galatians
4: 7So you are no longer
a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir. How will you celebrate the coming of the New Year? The tradition is to celebrate with wild
abandon and regret it the next day. But
you are different; you are a child of God and are loved because of who we are,
even if you do celebrate with a bit too much wild abandon. We are not loved because of all the wonderful
things we do, just as we are not “not loved” because of all the garbage we pull
in life. We are loved because we are the
children of God and we are loved as one would love your own children. Yes that means that sometimes the love must
come in the form of tough love. Sometimes that love comes in the form of
stepping back and letting us find out for ourselves why what were told what not
to do is a good idea to not do. We are
the children of God in all that means.
Welcome to the family. And you might think about spending this New Year’s
Eve in celebration of all the wonders God has given you in 14 and in
anticipation of all the ministry you will be called to do in 15.
