Penns Grove-Excelsior Lodge #54

      January is a time we all get to slow down and reflect on the past, and look forward to a new start. We all set goals for our future. We have hope in a new year. What ever your Faith, make time in your daily devotions to lift up all the Men & Women that put them- selves in harms way. From the local law enforcement as they are walking up to that unknowing car, to the military walking the allies of some third world country, ask our God to protect them.

     Life itself is short. The years do go by quickly. Our available time keeps getting less. Knowing what is right and taking the time to do it seems to be a lesser opportunity. We are taught that all mankind has a claim on our good works. For the New Year, think about the time you spend on yourself compare to those around you that you don’t know and those you do know. We do need to refresh ourselves, but spend equal time in aid of others.

     Last but not least as we lay down our plans of life, remember we only have one chance with first impressions. You can do well for years but one unkind word can destroy it. As we treat others is how we want others to treat us.

 

     May the blessings of our God travel from our household to yours.
