I Wish For You Enough

Is there something you want for the New Year?

Have you made resolutions yet? Indulge me here.

I wish the New Year will bring you an abundance

of faith.

I wish for you peace in your heart and mind. I

wish for you healing of your body and spirit.

I wish for our church to be filled with music and

song. I wish for fences to be mended. I wish for

our church family to grow.

I wish for our lives to be open to the gifts of the

Holy Spirit, especially the gifts of love, faith, and

charity.

For you I wish you have enough clothing to

keep you warm on the coldest winter day. I wish

for you shelter and fresh water to drink, and

enough food to fill your family and more than

enough to share.

I wish for us all to be gracious and kind, I wish

for us to accept the thanks and kindness which we

have received.

I wish that every one of us would learn to give

without expectation of getting back.

I wish for us safety, health and boundless love.

I wish for all of us to accept the gift of everlasting

life through Jesus Christ and the sharing of this

Good News.

Knowing the heart of our Messiah family, I am

sure that you are wishing and praying for the

same things. Wishes often come true, and prayers

get answered. Sometimes God uses people and

circumstances to answer those prayers. You are

blessed, so share your time, talents and gifts with

our church and our community. There is always

time to be grateful that we have enough.

Have a blessed and Happy New Year from our

family to yours.

Your servant in Christ,

Marilyn DiLuzio Rizzo

Year of Health “This is a permanent law for you, to purify the people of Israel from

their sins, making them right with the Lord once each year.”

Leviticus 16:34 NLT

In the Chinese culture, the New Year is the time dedicated to finish

with the old and to start with the new. Their traditions include

visiting friends and family to re-establish relationships, cleaning the

house to prepare for the coming year, stocking cupboards with

household provisions, settling all old debts, and putting forth their

best behavior. All of these activities are to make the new year better

and healthier.

What are you going to do for your health this year? Are you going

to keep all of your old habits and ignore healthier ones? For

example have you considered limiting your meals at fast-food

restaurants? Can you develop healthier choices at the grocery store?

Will you improve your exercise habits by walking or joining a health

club? Have you considered the health benefits of practicing self-

care and a well-balanced lifestyle? Any and all of these will guide

you to a healthier life.

Once you decide to make an improvement, you must first choose

what area to change then make the commitment to see that change

occur. Many of us take the first step of making the promise to

change our behavior or habit but find it difficult to take the actual

steps and then follow through on the lifestyle change. To be

successful when making the commitment to alter behavior you need

to have dedication, strategy, and action. Until you have a plan and

begin to follow it, change is only a verbal statement.

The New Year is a good time to look at your life and determine what

you need to change or improve. Start the year by considering your

health. Follow the monthly tips from your parish nurse to see how

you can become healthy, prevent disease, or minimize complications

to your current health. Focusing on the future and a well-balanced

life will help you participate more fully in the love and joy of your

family.

Set yourself up for success by making your goal SMART:

Specific

Measurable

Achievable

Relevant

Time-Bound

Let’s unpack each of these a little more!

Specific Vague, general goals may sound great, but they don’t often get

met. Make your goal as detailed as possible so you’re more

likely to rock it. Write a full description of the goal, what you

want to achieve, and what you’re going to do to get there. The

more specific your description, the better chance you’ll have at

reaching your goal.

Ask yourself these questions:

What exactly do I want to achieve?

Why do I want to reach this goal?

How do I do it?

Where?

With whom?

Are there any conditions or limitations?

A loose, vague goal might sound like:

I will lose weight.

I will eat healthier.

I’ll exercise more.

I’ll manage stress better.

But a specific goal could sound like:

I will lose 10 pounds by avoiding sugary soda and jog-

ging for 20 minutes, 3 days a week.

I will add a fruit to my lunch each day.

I will try an aerobics class at my local community center

at least twice.

I will practice a guided stress-relieving meditation video

this week.

Measurable

This means there is a “before” and “after” that you can meas-

ure to track your progress toward your goal and when you’ve

successfully achieved it. It might be a number that changes up

or down depending on what success looks like, or a scale from

1 to 10, sad to happy, or high to low. Or it might be a visible,

physical change.

No matter what your goal is, it means breaking it down into

one or more measurable elements.

Examples:

I will weigh myself each morning to track that I’m still

losing weight and getting closer to my goal of losing 10

pounds.

I’ll use my food tracker to record my fruits at lunch each

day. I’ll look back on my tracker to see if I was able to

stick to my goal.

I’ll use my calendar to check off when I go to those two

Make Your New Year’s Health Resolutions

In order to make a Prayer Chain request,

please email or call the Church Office

Pr. Jeff and he will pass on the information!

Thank You for your cooperation!

Dear Ladies of the Prayer Shawl Ministry:

On behalf of the Veterans of the PA Soldiers’ and

Sailors’ Home, I would like to express my sincere

gratitude to you for your donation of Prayer Shawls to

our residents.

Your support of the Residents at the PA Soldiers’ and

Sailors’ Home helps us continue with our mission to

maintain the highest quality of care.

Thank you again for your generous support.

aerobics classes. It will feel good to look at it and see that

I reached my goal!

I’ll make a note in my calendar each time I meditate. I’ll

be able to review that calendar to prove that I stuck to my

goal.

Achievable

It’s OK to shoot for the stars, but your goals should be realistic

for your current state of health - in your mind and your

body. Your goals should be reasonable so you can meet them

and feel successful. Be sure to set goals that you think you can

accomplish rather than goals that will set you up for failure.

Examples:

I will focus on losing 1 pound a week for 10 weeks, until

I reach my 10-pound weight loss goal. I was able to do it

before, so I know I can do it again!

I know I can add fruits to my lunch, especially my favor-

ites like grapes and oranges. I’ll buy a bunch and have

them ready when I make my lunch each morning.

Is it realistic to go to aerobics class now that I have a bro-

ken leg? Probably not. Maybe I should stick to upper-

body exercises instead.

Am I capable of meditating, and can I realistically do it

this week? It might feel a little uncomfortable since I’m

new to it, but I know I can do it!

Relevant

Why is this goal important to you? Will achieving it help im-

prove your health? Make sure your goal is worthwhile so

you’re more likely to stick with it.

Examples:

Losing weight will make me feel better about myself, and

will help me get healthier. And losing weight slowly will

make it more likely I won’t gain it all back later.

Eating fruit each afternoon will help satisfy my cravings

for sweets. That will help me stay on track with my eat-

ing plan and keep me feeling healthy.

I’m going to this aerobics class because I want to have

more energy to keep up with my kids.

Meditation will help me relieve my stress. Giving this a

try will keep me calm, help me feel better, and allow me

to focus more at work.

Time-Bound

Set a start date and deadline for each goal. Make them realistic

yet flexible if you need to adjust slightly (perhaps your goal

was to jog for 15 minutes but you can only do 10 minutes).

With a time frame, you can visualize the finish line for your

goal. Motivate yourself by noting your deadline on your phone

or wall calendar or a sticky note on your fridge.

Examples:

I’ll keep losing 1 pound a week for 10 weeks. After 10

weeks, I’ll look at my progress and see if I’ve met my

goal.

Starting next Monday, I’ll add fruit to my lunch each day.

I’ll shop for fruit this Sunday so I’ll be ready.

Starting this Tuesday, I’ll go to 2 aerobics classes this

week.

Starting tonight, I’ll look up a guided meditation video

online and practice it for 2 minutes to start out.

You can get healthier by getting SMART!
