HAPPY NEW YEAR!

"A new year is unfolding—like a blossom with petals curled tightly concealing the beauty within.

Lord, let this year be filled with the things that are truly good—with the comfort of warmth in my relationships, with the strength to help those who need my help and the humility and openness to accept help from others.

As I make my resolutions for the year ahead, let me go forward with great hope that all things can be possible—with Your help and guidance."

A New Year!

William Arthur Ward

Another fresh new year is here…
Another year to live!
To banish worry, doubt, and fear,
To love and laugh and give!

This bright new year is given me
To live each day with zest…
To daily grow and try to be
My highest and my best!

I have the opportunity
Once more to right some wrongs,
To pray for peace, to plant a tree,
And sing more joyful songs!
