Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV) - For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Lessons from Narnia to take into the new year:

Frank: Be loyal; to your beliefs, to your values, and to your loved ones. Cling to your beliefs in the dark, and never leave behind the ones you love. Helen: Speak for the good of others. Be brave for those who can’t, and be faithful to those who need you. Digory: Logic and reason do not equal cynicism. Be clever, be open, and have faith. Polly: Don’t be afraid of looking like a fool. Say what you’re thinking and ask questions when you need to. Peter: Don’t let your fears hold you back from what you need to do. You don’t need to feel brave to act bravely.  Susan: Let yourself be gentle. Be considerate of others; be compassionate. There is strength in gentleness, too, even when others don’t see it. Edmund: Even a traitor may mend: you are not defined by your past mistakes. Forgive yourself, for you have been forgiven. Lucy: Know when to follow, and know when to go on alone. You might not share the world’s values, and it’s important to know when you’re following the wrong thing. Stick to your convictions. Don’t be afraid if you’re the only one. Eustace: Change doesn’t happen all at once. Just because you still fall short doesn’t mean the cure hasn’t begun.  Jill: Don’t be afraid to cry. Your feelings are important, and you are allowed to express them.  Shasta/Cor: When you are at your highest, stay humble. You are no better at your most fortunate than you were when you felt unfortunate.  Aravis: Be true to yourself, and then find the strength to grow. Forget your pride, but never forget you are worthy of love and respect. Corin: Stand up for what matters to you. Stand up for others. Never let your failures stop you from trying again. Bree: Never stop chasing what you want; never stop working to be where you want to be. Keep taking steps towards your goals, and walk with those who share them. Hwin: Give hope to the hopeless. Be there for those who have no one, and stand by them on their journey. Caspian: Don’t give up. Help will come, you’ll make it through, and you will reach your dreams. It’s never too late. Trufflehunter: Know when to hold on. Change is not always progress, and some things are worth staying true to. Sometimes it is good to stay the same. Reepicheep: Be firm in your convictions, and be true to yourself. Go where you are called, even when everyone else turns back.  Puddleglum: Believe when it is hardest to. In the dark, still believe in the sun. Some things are more important than your present circumstances, anyways. Rilian: Be devoted; to those you love, and to what you believe in.  Tirian: Stand firm, even in the darkest hour, and never stop fighting for a better tomorrow. Give everything for what matters to you. Know that it’s worth the fight.

“Shoma functions at his own pace, unshakeable and obstinate but incredibly kind, […]. Shoma was born small, often sick as a child, and slow to learning how to speak but despite all of that, he became an Olympic silver medalist and Guiness Record holder. It’s incredible how hard he continues to work without ever giving up”  ―  Itsuki Uno (translation by yawning_shoma)

Happy birthday Shoma Uno [17.12]
