Remember when we had jobs and a yearly plan and even a 5 year plan was vital? In evaluations bosses would ask, "What would you like to accomplish in the next month that will lead to achieving your plan for 2020? … Where would you like to be in 2021?" Now that I am retired, from several careers, I have different goals: I have some plans for myself like "losing 20 pounds" "walking an hour a day daily and keeping at it" "Painting a few canvases and joining the art leagues in my town when things open up again and virus is under control" …. and that is for 2020. I’d like to celebrate New Years Eve on the lake watching fireworks! I’d be happy celebrating 4th of July on the lake!!!! I’d like to Be peaceful, healthy, agile. I’d like to feel joy, and give joy. Short term, long term that is what goals are all about. There is no money in my goals. God has been good to us, and we have enough. I think being peaceful is the biggest. God sent the disciples out to preach and teach, and he said, "Take nothing. Eat what is given to you and sleep where you are taken in." Wouldn’t it be wonderful to trust the Lord? The gospel is not about prosperity, it’s about suffering… It’s about the Way of the Cross. It’s about changing our hearts and praying for "the others." Today is Sunday… traditional day of going to church … At least let us go out and praise God for the beauties of nature he has given to us. Amen! Alleluia! Thank God. Angels with us.
