Dear Friends,
Thank you so much for your wonderful Christmas cards, wishes, prayers, and gifts! Your kindness and thoughtfulness mean a lot to us.
As we enter a new year, I believe we would be wise to pause and give thanks for past blessings and to reflect upon the year ahead so that we invest our time, energy and wealth in that which really matters.
I am reminded of the Jekyll Island Club founded by some of the most prominent millionaire industrialists in the late 1800s. They formed one of the most powerful, wealthy, and influential earthly kingdoms ever known. Today they are all dead and nearly forgotten. Patrick Morley writes in Walking with Christ in the Details of Life, “No matter how affluent and influential we become in the prosperous, material world, we will not find eternal profit from temporal kingdoms. We must still come daily to the foot of the Cross of the Lord Jesus Christ to inherit an eternal kingdom.”
Let us each prayerfully enter 2016 with Jesus’ prayer on our lips, “Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” And let us each consider what that might mean for our time, energy and financial commitments.
Happy New Year! Andrew
