So find joy in whatever your Lord gives you to do in this year ahead. Serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all your days. Bring your service to him like a little child bringing her coloring page home from school. She gives it to Mom and Dad not because she thinks she’s done better than her classmates, not because she thinks it’s a peace of fine art, not because she’s tried hard and wants a reward for her effort, not because she thinks she needs to earn their approval. She gives it because she knows how much Mom and Dad love her and here is how she can show her love for them. And they welcome it as a gift of love saying well done.
