Lunar New Year Blessings

We have noticed that many TV programs about the Lunar New Year celebrations include a list of taboos.  There are many things that people are told to avoid.  Many of the taboos are daily habits expected of people on any other day of the year (such as cleaning and sweeping).  These things are banned so that “bad luck” will not fall on the individual or their family.

We are thankful that we live in the context of grace.  God extends grace so that we receive what we do not deserve.  We are called to be people who extend grace to others.  It is for that reason that we have been intentional to send Scriptural Blessings to people this year.

The above blessing is one example.  We are sending this blessing above to you!  May you experience God’s grace in a new deeper way this year.
