Happy New Year
Today my pink calendar’s job is over, and my new purple calendar is ready to take over. As we begin using our new calendars today, I am sharing with you some calendars from America’s past. Let’s pray that in every day in 2025 God helps us:
- To love Him more dearly.
- To serve Him more faithfully.
- To love our neighbors as ourselves.
- To stay more closely connected to the families He has given us.
I pray too that God will give you the strength and courage to center every day of this year’s school calendar in God’s holy will.

Happy New Year! Enjoy your fresh start!
Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the Lord Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the Lord is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100
