Missouri Job’s Daughters Today’s Leaders, Tomorrow’s Future
Celebrating 100 Years! Happy New Year from Missouri Job’s Daughters! We hope you had a warm and safe holiday season. Since the last article, we have been able to elect a Grand Bethel Junior Princess and fully install the Grand Bethel Officers and Representatives for 20202021. While in-person activities are unfortunately suspended for the time being, there has been a great deal of creativity and flexibility demonstrated by Job’s Daughters both here in Missouri and across the globe! It has been incredible watching Bethels adapt with installing their new officers for the term as well as initiating new members! The Grand Bethel is planning more social events to connect over Zoomwe are hosting a craft party at the end of January and hosted a holiday game night in December! The adaptability continues to stand as a testament to the lessons of our order: patience and faith will bring reward. As spring is just around the corner, the days are getting longer and promises of rebirth and new beginnings do not seem far away. Spring often brings a busy season for Missouri Job’s Daughters- with the warmer weather bringing our annual weekend retreat being held in Osage Beach this year, receptions galore, and ramping excitement for our annual Grand Session in June. It is hard to believe June is as close as it is, but hopefully the spirit and excitement felt during the week will happen in person! Holding on to hope and positivity has admittedly been difficult this past year. 2020 certainly did not go as any of us imagined but each new challenge Page 26
provides an opportunity to grow and improve. By taking that energy to 2021 we can still grow and improve- with the best goal being to be a better person than we were yesterday. Be steadfast, and let the troubles roll off of you like water off a duck’s back. Hoping in 2021 we can be reunited in person, Olivia Van Tine Grand Bethel Honored Queen The Freemason
