A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, -Ecclesiastes 2:24
This year, more than ever, we need hope. Of course, Jesus, is the one we really need to hang onto and put our hope in. We can do other activities we enjoy to help brighten our days too. Here are some ways to help us embrace 2021 and remain hopeful:
1. Drink from the well that is Jesus
2. Pray fervently
3. Count your blessings
4. Take each day as it comes
5. Try something you’ve never done before

7. Find something to laugh at each day
8. Seek out things that put a smile on your face
