Welcoming a New Year

A new year stands on my doorstep ready to enter my life's journey.Something in me welcomes this visitor: the hope of bountiful blessings, the joy of anew beginning, the freshness of unclaimed surprises.Something in me rebuffs this visitor: the swiftness of the coming, the boldness ofthe entrance, the challenge of a year's good-bye. Something in me fears this visitor:the unnamed events of future days, the wisdom needed to walk love well, thedemands of giving away and growing.A new year stands on my doorstep and with fragile caution I move to open the doorfor its entrance. My heart leaps with surprise. Joy jumps in my eyes, for there besidethis brand new year stands my God with outstretched hand!God smiles and gently asks of me: can we walk this year together?And I, so overwhelmed with goodness, can barely whisper my reply: “Welcomein”!

With my visits in the homes of older adults I have learned the worstfear is falling. An older adult in one of my T’ai Chi Chih classes at the WellnessCenter brought me an article from a Harvard Health letter. It made reference toa JAMA Internal Medicine study published September 10, 2018. 670 olderadults, with a self-reported history of falls, were divided into three groups. Onegroup did T’ai Chi only. Another group did stretching exercises, and the thirdgroup did aerobics, strength training, and balance and flexibility exercises. Theymet twice a week for an hour each time. Following a six-month period people inthe T’ai Chi group had 58% fewer falls compared with people in the stretchinggroup. There were 31% fewer falls compared with people in the group doingaerobics and other exercises. T’ai Chi was declared the winner in helping toward off falls.

I asked someone about the best time to plant a tree. The answer was,“Twenty years ago.” We cannot go back twenty years for anything. The lessonis the best time to plant a tree or begin T’ai Chi is now. A class meets eachTuesday at 9:00 a.m. in the Fellowship Hall for an hour. You are welcomed tojoin us at this time if you are thinking of a New Year’s resolution to help withyour imbalance. Statements from people presently attending classes are sharedbelow in case you need help deciding.

I find T’ai Chi Chih to be challenging yet very relaxing. After the class,I feel energized. You must be very intentional to do the movements properly inorder to get the most benefit from the class. I find the practice thoroughlyenjoyable. Tuesday is the best day of the week for me after the TCC class.I started T’ai Chi because it is supposed to be good for one’s balance. I havereally enjoyed the class and hope that it is having the desired result. I can feelmy balance improve during class. More practice outside of class wouldcertainly be better - a resolution for 2019!

I have come to TCC classes to enjoy the experience of moving my bodythrough space and time, in rhythmic sync, with other people around me. I likethe thought, and I enjoy the feeling, of coordinated, communal behaviors. T'aiChi, very much like the call and response of our liturgical rhythms duringworship, has this characteristic. We move and issue utterances in unison.Practices like this, it seems to me, do not disadvantage us of our own individualpersonalities, styles, and strengths, but rather they serve as an expression of ourextraordinary, compounded, aggregate power as a community - and what aresource we all are, one to another! The additional benefits, which T'ai Chioffers of balance, coordination, flexibility, and focus - these are icing on thecake. And, as those who have witnessed my participation in T'ai Chi can wellattest, I could use much additional practice in balance and coordination; I havea tendency to trip over my own shadow. Thankfully, Ron and the group arehelping me to address this opportunity! Little do they realize the number ofyears which will be required to "bring me along.”

Thoughts to guide us in 2019 - from books in the librarywritten by some of the best writers of our time.

Library Lines

OUR LEADER IN 2019Isaiah in 52:12 says, "The Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard." In My Utmostfor His Highest, Oswald Chambers explains that "As we go forth into the coming year, . . . let us go out with thepatient power of knowing that the God of Israel will go before us . . . and step out into the invincible future withHim."

Oswald Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest Yeah!!!!GOD ANSWERS PRAYER!"Maintain the childlike habit of offering up prayer in your heart to God all the time . . . Jesus never mentionedunanswered prayer . . . Jesus said, 'everyone who asks receives' (Matthew 7:8). Yet we say, 'But . . . but. . . .' Godanswers prayer in the best way - not just sometimes, but every time. . . . The danger we have is that we want towater down what Jesus said to make it mean something that aligns with our common sense."

My Utmost for His Highest by Oswald ChambersCOMMON SENSE"The will of God is the opposite of that which common sense would dictate. The will of God is sometimes whatthe world would call madness."

Leslie Weatherhead The Will of God

"Never let your common sense become so prominent and forceful that it pushes the Son of God to one side.Common sense is a gift that God gave to our human nature - but common sense is not the gift of His Son. . . ."Common sense and faith are as different from each other as the natural life is from the spiritual. Nothing "thatJesus Christ ever said is common sense"

Oswald Chambers in My Utmost for His Highest

EVERY DAY"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life." Psalm 23"What a huge statement. . . Goodness and mercy follow the child of God each and every day! . . . Days athome with only toddlers? God will be at your side. Days in a dead-end job? He will be at your side. Daysof loneliness? He will take your hand. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me - not some, not most, notnearly all - but all the days of my life."

Traveling Light by Max Lucado

THE GREATNESS OF GOD"Astronomers venture a feeble estimate that the number of stars in the universe equals the number of grains ofsand on all the beaches of the world. The star Eta Carinae outshines our sun, in the same way Yankee Stadiumoutshines a cigarette lighter. Five million times brighter! Why the immensity? Why such vast, unmeasured,unexplored, 'unused' space? So that you and I, freshly stunned, could be stirred by this resolve: 'I can do allthings through Christ who strengthens me' (Philippians 4:13, NKIV). The Christ of the galaxies is the Christ ofyour Mondays. The Starmaker manages your travel schedule. Relax. You have a friend in high places.'

Next Door Savior by Max LucadoNannette Comer, Librarian

KEEPING FIRST THINGS FIRST!"Whatever we do, let’s remember who's in control here."

Father Tim in Jan Karon's At Home in Mitford
