As another year comes to a close, we find ourselves standing in a quiet doorway between what has been and what is yet to come. The months behind us carry their share of laughter and loss, answered prayers and unanswered questions. Some days stretched longer than we expected; others slipped by before we could fully hold them.
This closing of the year isn’t an ending so much as a gentle pause—a chance to breathe, to remember, to give thanks for the strength we didn’t know we had and the grace that met us along the way. We carry forward the lessons, the love, and even the scars, knowing they’ve shaped us in ways we may only understand later.
As the calendar turns, may we release what no longer serves us and step into the new year with hope that is steady, not hurried. One day at a time. One blessing at a time. And with the quiet confidence that whatever comes next, we do not walk into it alone.
