For the second consecutive year at my church, we were given a Star Word. It’s word to focus on, work through, or look for in the coming year.
We select it in much the same way a person picks a card from the deck during a card trick. The words written on pieces of paper placed upside-down in a plate, and we pick one without knowing what we’re going to get.
This was mine.

If I focus on it, work on it, and look for it, 2020 could be a jubilant year!
Your church leadership sounds intentional and creative. Here’s to jubilation all year long!
Tomorrow I reveal my own focus word.
Thanks for getting my morning off to a great start, focusing on the positive, Arlene.
I look forward to seeing what your word is. I’m curious . . .
That’s a good word.
It’s giving me plenty to think about. Moments of jubilation are rare. Looking for them, creating them, is really making me think!
JUBILATION. Indeed!
What a wonderful word! It seems like just focusing on it would make any year a bit more fun.
I think so, right? I find myself looking around, trying to find the joy in whatever’s going on around me.
