Make new MEMORIES this YEAR!

Happy New MEMORIES Year 2026!

Love you all! Happy New Year!

I like my new 2026 glow in the dark glasses, they are good for one whole year! And being home for the New Years, if just a couple days, is priceless time. It was wonderful (even if I went to bed at 930pm, LOL, I like a good rest to start 2026). 

I brought pairs of glow in the dark glasses, 3D printed at a craft show, one my mom wore and one pair I wore last night playing scrabble after dinner. She’s seen many more New Years than me. (I will return south later today, ready for a NEW MEMORIES YEAR 2026, I can’t wait!)

I watched the ball drop on replay just now, I saw our town’s buildings lit up as big 2 and big 5 on the hill opposite from our hill, last night, and I remembered that the trees weren’t so tall when I was a kid and we actually ran back and forth from the TV ball drop and the kitchen window watching those numbers change each year. Year after year excitement even if the years blur now. Can’t believe Y2K was over 25 yrs ago either… Life marches on…

Wisdom over wishing might be a good theme for this year 2026. Gain in wisdom and to keep growing. I mean we can look back at 2025 and years and years, like through that kitchen window or TV (or phone screen) and we can take the same well-beaten paths of good memories, hopefully skipping over bad memories, and/or we can take fresh new ones! NEW MEMORIES 2026! Wisdom is looking THROUGH 2026 glasses not at them. 

Look forward to 2026 and look for new memories for this year. (For me I’m appreciating traveling)… we best to MATURE our mentality to be more wise, asking God for priceless wisdom, each day,  ONE DAY AT A TIME, and don’t worry for each day is in HIS Hands. 

As for Jesus, from our gospel of Luke reading as a boy, He Jesus as God never changes, and yet He as human always was, was growing physically and mentally in wisdom and in direction and in strengthening of purpose. 

We can too. We can grow. Jesus grew under God the Father’s favor, and Mary, Jesus’s mother, grew in memories, kept all these wisdoms of memories in her heart… we can too…

Full hearts and to be light on our feet – I pray that for all of us as we approach 2026. May we see and appreciate new memories ahead!

HAPPY NEW MEMORIES YEAR 2026!

Luke 2:51-52 NKJV
Jesus Advances in Wisdom and Favor
Then He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was subject to them, but His mother kept all these things in her heart. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

WISDOM OVER WISHING… AMEN
