The “Baby New Year” has made his way into 2021- and “Old Year” 2020 has departed. Some are worried about “what next” after their 2020 roller coaster. But, as in all things, it will be what we make it to be. Some people have seen 2020 as a disaster, and others as a time for personal growth.  Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.” We can choose what we do with the upcoming year. We can use this time to learn from our past and prepare for our future. We can use the time to look for the good in all things, and to love and serve those around us. We can use this time to “Be Prepared” in spiritual and temporal ways that will help us to weather any storms that the last days may blow our way. New Years are a time of goal setting. Let us set goals and make plans – and then follow through – as we prepare “every needful thing!”
