My motto for this year:

Take it easy. Living with daily contentment, rooted and flourishing—one day at a time.

Motivational Bible Scripture for 2026:
Psalm 1:1–3
The Message

“How well God must like you—
you don’t walk in the ruts of those blind-as-bats,
you don’t stand with the good-for-nothings,
you don’t take your seat among the know-it-alls.

Instead, you thrill to God’s Word;
you chew on Scripture day and night.

You’re a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom.”
