You readers really came through with your words for the year—and you inspire me.
Enjoy these submissions for 2024! (I’m also including the two from last week for you to savor again.)

Aspiration instead of expectation (the killer of joy and appreciation), and abundance so I remember life is not a competition; there is plenty.
Deborah, Beldenville, Wisconsin

Time is my word. God’s timing is perfect and His promises will come to pass. It’s just a matter of time.
Linda, Eben Junction, Michigan

Courage. I'm starting a new business and I have everything lined up to make it happen. I just need the courage to start producing and putting myself out there!

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
