Hello John and Doves,

 

May His Word guide you, bring you peace, fill you with hope as you start this new year.

 

"Your word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."  Psalm 119:105

 

Happy New Year!

 

Maranatha!

 

Chance

 

This seems very appropriate for the new year, especially THIS new year.

 

New Year's Prayer

 

May God make your year a happy one!

 

Not by shielding you from sorrows and pain, but by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;

 

Not by making your path easy, but by making you sturdy to travel ANY path;

 

Not by taking hardships from you, but by taking fear from your heart.

 

Not by granting you unbroken sunshine, but by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;

 

Not by making your life always pleasant, but by showing you when people and their causes need you most,

 

And by making you anxious to be there to help.

 

God's love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.
