This Year will be Different!

When we say, “This year will be different” our minds go to ways we might manage our time, calendars, relationships, shopping, entertaining—you name it—differently, so that our families and we can enjoy the busy season. But what if there is a “different kind of difference”? What if this year is different because we live into the reality that Jesus, Emmanuel, really is with us and invades our ordinary days with extraordinary meaning, hope and purpose?
