happy new year text

As I sit here this Sunday morning watching the soft white snow fall to the earth covering the old and presenting the new, clean and pure, I realize the gift of each new day. What a blessing we are offered when the sun rises giving us the opportunity to try again, to start fresh and to repent of our mistakes and wrong doings.

Often change takes hard work, whether it is being kinder or breaking a bad habit that has controlled you for alot of years. But the good news is….it is possible!!! Don’t think for a moment that you can’t do it because it is just too hard. You can!!! That’s exactly where you start, by telling yourself that you can!!!

Prayer can be a powerful tool in helping you make changes. Your Father in Heaven is there to assist and strengthen you no matter what you are trying to overcome. With the help of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, I have not only been able to overcome bitterness towards those who have hurt me but I have also been able to give my burden of past mistakes and sin to my Savior.

Take advantage of each day that offers you and me a New Beginning. Set reasonable and reachable goals. Let family and friends help you to change by asking for their support and encouragement.

Let 2023 be your year of progress and change! You can do it!!!
