The CK Daily – Grateful for the Season and Hopeful for What’s Next
Happy Monday!
We’ve had a really great Christmas break and have enjoyed slowing down a bit as a family. One of our favorite simple things to do has been driving around neighborhoods and checking out everyone’s Christmas lights. It’s one of those traditions that never gets old.
Christmas itself was wonderful. My oldest has been talking about 3D printing since the beginning of the school year, so she was completely shocked and thrilled when she opened a 3D printer on Christmas morning. We’ve been printing things all week and learning firsthand that not every print comes out perfectly. That’s part of the fun though, figuring things out as you go.
The kids also get the joy of celebrating Christmas multiple times. We had celebrations with grandparents, one with a close family friend, and we still have another one coming up. I don’t think they’re complaining about that at all.
I’ve also been doing a bit of reflecting on the year and mentally preparing for 2026. It still sounds like we’re living in the future, but with all the AI and robotics technology coming out, it really does feel that way. On the day after Christmas, our church officially passed its final inspections and received its certificate of occupancy. That was a huge moment. We’ve been working toward this building for about four years, and while there are still a few finishing touches, it’s finally ready to be used. It’s an exciting season for us.
As we head into the new year, I’m feeling really optimistic. 2026 is shaping up to be a great year.
I hope you have a great day and a wonderful week!
