The celerations of this past season are quickly shrinking in the rear view mirror of life and living.
We have several days we remember such as New Years day, Memorial Day, Independence Day,
THanksgiving and Christmas. We have several other days during the year that are memorialized for one reason or another and each has its own significance.
I have found one simple way of staying somewhat fresh in life. That is to not forget the past, live right in the present knowing that the future awaits us.
No place does this hold more significance than our life and service in and for Christ. Our rememberance of the past is important in that we resolve to be an overcomer of our spiritual failings and rejocie when we have spiritual victories. We must live a balanced life with the past by remembering those failures and victories and bring their remembrance into our present living.
The failures should be a springboard to project our lives toward those things that make for life in Christ therefore victory. Our victories should be cherished in order to be thankful to the Lord who gives us the victory.
In living the present successfully we then look with joy and expectation at our future because Jesus has purchased our lives on the cross, thereby giving us hope and promise of a new life here, now and eternal life when Jesus comes for all His saints from the past and present who have secured their future in Christ.
Your future is bright in the light of God's gift to all - Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
God bless you all

Pastor
