During this time, many of us set goals for the upcoming year. I share three secrets, I discovered while I was a state and national champion bodybuilder. I hope they will help you accomplish all the goals for this coming year.

During this busy time of year, I reflect on a time Jesus visited with Martha and Mary's at their home. Martha was focused on all the preparation and the busyness of the event. Mary desires to spend time with Jesus in His presence. I know we are all busy with all the activities but, will we choose to be like Mary and focus on the relationship instead of the task. "Mary" Christmas!

There was a time in which we eagerly opened the door when someone knocked. Today many times we hide or just avoid opening the door. How many times is this like life? Due to distractions or preconceived thoughts, we are closed to new ideas or change in our lives. How many times do miss opportunity to growth or splendor due to be closed. Will you choose to be open?

In the midst of everything happening as we are getting ready for Christmas, have you been able to really listen to the lyrics of those songs you have heard throughout your life. Recently, I reflected as I listened to hours of Christmas songs as we drove home. Many memories came flooding back. But, one stood out, Amy Grants’s “My Grown-up Christmas List”. I wonder if this Christmas season we could give the gift of caring for someone or showing compassion for someone struggling. Maybe, we could give a gift that will last throughout the year.
