At last 2023 is upon us, and we all gather around loved ones and wish the best upon them for the upcoming year. Let this year be different than the past, full of better outcomes, better health, prosperity and may the love of Christ resonate in all our lives.
If you look upon your life during the past year, we might notice that sometimes when we have had a long series of painful or disappointing things happen to us, we expect those disappointments to continue. Let us focus on the good things in life during the New Year, and put away all the trials and tribulations behind us. Enjoy your life, God has granted you a new beginning, a new year!
Instead of expecting the worst, let us all focus on the good and expect the best to come to us this year. Put more time and effort in prayer, put more effort in your service to you nation and church, and you will reap the rewards.
This is a new year, new expectations, and always remind yourself that good things are coming for you in the New Year.
Rev. Fr. Movses Shannakian
