We are now in 2024! Let us start the year with mindfulness. The scriptures in the third chapter of Ecclesiastes reminds us of the following:

1. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Zora Neale Hurston gives us pause by stating that there are years that ask questions and years that answer.

In whatever season you find yourself in for 2024, may your your be peaceful, prosperous, and purposeful.
