Happy New Year!

 It's a brand new year

With three hundred and sixty five days

Ring it in with cheer,

Well wishes, and lofty goals always

May you strive to be like the Savior 

Who grew in stature and strength

While making choices that men favor

As He learned the Father's will, to do at length

Luke 2: 52

And Jesus grew in wisdom (intellectually) and stature (physically), and in favor with God (spiritually) and man (socially/emotionally).

Lofty goals- the pursuit of goals where you see the bigger picture:

 Mark 12:30-31

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart (emotionally), with all your soul (spiritually), with all your mind (intellectually- wisdom), and with all your strength (physically).’ [a]This is the first commandment. 31 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
