SUNDAY CHOICE – NO MORE LEFTOVERS – By Charles Schokman Image Source : facebook NEW YEARS RESOLUTION The day after Christmas, we had enough leftovers in our refrigerator to feed the eight people who had shared the meals again. As the week went on, we reheated, snacked, and made full meals out of the leftovers. We tossed most of the leftovers and kept a few that we thought would still be usable and enjoyed a pizza. As we begin a new year, I wonder if containers of spiritual, emotional, and mental leftovers are taking up space in my mind and heart. Maybe the same is true for you. What about that foil-covered dish of unforgiveness hidden away on that lower shelf? Maybe you pulled it out, dumped it, cleaned the container, and made space for love. Forgive the person who hurt them. Why are you keeping that plastic bowl of resentment? It’s ...

Light Of The New Year – by Dodwell Keyt Source : sieramusic The clock on the wall ticked with a rhythmic precision, each second echoing through the empty room. Clara sat before the large window, gazing at the quiet city streets. It was the year’s final night, and she felt a strange mixture of anticipation and melancholy. The old year had been filled with joys and struggles, but now, with the calendar turning, there was a new beginning on the horizon. A blank canvas waiting to be filled. Her family had always celebrated the arrival of the New Year with grand parties, laughter, and fireworks. Yet, this year was different. Clara had chosen to spend it quietly, reflecting on everything that had changed. The world outside seemed peaceful, almost frozen in time. It was as if the city was holding its breath, waiting for the magic of a new beginning to arrive. As ...

“SOUND PAPAL ADVICE” – By Desmond Kelly. Sent to us by Chris Lawton, via Keith Bennett, is this sound Papal advice, delivered by Pope Francis, himself, early in the New Year of 2023. This Pope chose to go under the name of Francis, although his real name happens to be Jorge Mario Bergoglio, simply because he, like a lot of us, loves animals, and the renowned name of the holy Saint of the Carholic Church, Saint Francis of Azzizi went to the extent of actually talking with the animals who came his way, and whats more,they understood him. Without further ado,let us now go straight to Pope Francis & the wise, wonderful speech he afforded us with which, to start the New Year, not forgetting both Chris. & Keith, for forwarding it to e’Lanka. Now, I would join Pope Francis in saying may God bless everyone out there. Desmond ...

A HAPPY & BLESSED NEW YEAR – By Charles Schokman Now that we have come to the end of another year and on the threshold of a New Year it’s good to reflect on the past. Some may have been struck by illness, the loss of a loved one or met with unexpected tribulations. Others may have had everything going well for them. Whatever the situation may be, we are reminded ‘In all things give thanks to God’ In a busy life it is so easy to neglect to say ‘thank you’. It seems to be human nature. Jesus healed ten lepers of their dread disease, but only one came back to say ‘thank you’ God warned his people against ungrateful hearts because that would only lead them to forgetting God and deluding themselves that they had produced the blessings by their own power and strength. We will do well ...
