Monroe Dispatch - No Struggle, No Progress

It seems like just yesterday we were eating Thanksgiving food and now with a blink of the eye, Christmas approaching. Now that the year is ending, I felt like it was relevant to write about the season. This year, I think the main goal that life has taught us all is to be thankful and find joy in the small things. This year has taught me many things about life that I wasn’t prepared to know. Personally speaking, I’m proud of the things that this year has put me through because of how I’ve overcomed them, and I’m proud of the people around me too. This Christmas isn’t about presents or materialistic things but more about being around the people you love and rejoicing in the season. This year wasn't the best but God puts us through seasons of rain so we can see the sun. As you celebrate this season, be sure to focus on life and not gifts or materialistic things. During this season, determine how to find and protect your peace. There is a reason for every season, and I hope you can find the lessons and blessings in each of your seasons. Happy Holidays from my family to yours. If you have a specific topic in mind that you would like for me to write about, please email me at [email protected]
