New year, new word (there's still time!)

Hi, readers!

Two of you sent me your words for 2024 (enjoy them below!), but more of you wanted to share yours, so you still have a chance to submit (lucky you!)

Here are the instructions:

Send me a message HERE by Wednesday, January 3, 2024, with your word/verse/idea for the new year, and I’ll run it in next Thursday’s blog installment. Subscribers, simply hit reply to this email. (Please include your city and state with your submission.)

Word for the year 2024: REFRESH

Refresh (v.) = update, revive, restore, give new strength or energy

(in computer language) = send a new signal and display changes

I click the refresh button (Ctrl+ R) for my life, and the picture changes

Updated, but not always new and improved

Sometimes frustrating messages: “can’t reach this page” and “checking the connection”

Connect me with You, Father, and refresh me

Avis, Newfolden, Minnesota

*****

Mine is persist.

Flicka, Fridley, Minnesota
