A New Year’s blessing
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrow 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.

“What can separate us from the love of God?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And as we share
God’s love with our brothers and sisters, God’s
other children, there is no tyrant who can resist
us, no opposition that cannot be ended, no
hunger that cannot be fed, no wound that
cannot be healed, no hatred that cannot be
turned into love, no dream that cannot be
fulfilled.”
—Desmond Tutu, God Has a Dream

I arise today through
God’s strength to pilot me:
God’s might to uphold me,
God’s wisdom to guide me,
God’s eye to look before me,
God’s ear to hear me,
God’s word to speak for me,
God’s hand to guard me,
God’s way to lie before me,
God’s shield to protect me,
God’s host to save me ...
—From “St. Patrick’s Breastplate”

“He brought light out of darkness, not out of a
lesser light, and he can bring thee summer out
of winter, though thou hast no spring, though
in the ways of fortune or understanding or
conscience thou have been benighted till now,
wintered and frozen, clouded and eclipsed,
damped and benumbed, smothered and stupefied
till now. Now God comes to thee, not as the
dawning of the day, not as the bud of the spring,
but as the sun at noon. … All occasions invite
his mercies, and all times are his seasons.”
—John Donne

In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
Butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there’s a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
God alone can see.
—Natalie Sleeth

“Hope is a feeling that life and work have
meaning. I cannot imagine that I could strive
for something if I did not carry hope in me. I am
thankful to God for this gift. It is as big as life
itself.”

“Free will is not the liberty to do whatever one
likes, but the power of doing whatever one sees
ought to be done, even in the very face of
otherwise overwhelming impulse. There lies
freedom indeed.”

“Rest is not idleness,” said John Lubbock, “and
to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day
listening to the murmur of water or watching
the clouds float across the sky is hardly a waste
of time.”
Most of us need more, not less, rest built into
our daily routine. Only when we are quiet can
we hear God’s whisper. Summer is a great time
to find a peaceful, outdoor spot to read, rest and
pray — even if only for a few minutes. God is
eagerly waiting for us to make space for him.

“If we are disciples of Christ, we are learners
under the instruction of Christ. Quite literally,
a disciple is a pupil, scholar, student or learner.
In the Oriental world a teacher with his band of
disciples was to that culture what schools and
universities are to our society. To be a disciple of
Jesus is to go to school with him.”
—Dwight E. Stevenson, Faith Takes a Name

A Sunday school teacher was talking about
some of God’s creatures. She described a furry
little animal who climbed trees, built nests in
them, loved nuts and buried acorns. “What
animal am I talking about?” she asked.
One little boy, very mindful of where he was,
spoke up and said, “It sounds like a squirrel, but
I know the right answer is Jesus.”
Although very young, the boy had already
figured out that “Jesus” is the right answer to
many questions.

“Returning thanks for blessings already
received increases our faith and enables us to
approach God with new boldness and new
assurance. As we reflect [on] the wondrous
goodness of God toward us on the one hand, and
[on] the other hand [on] the little thought and
strength and time that we ever put into
thanksgiving, we may well humble ourselves
before God and confess our sin.”
—R.A. Torrey

“Let us remember that the Christmas heart is a
giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of
others first. The birth of the baby Jesus stands as
the most significant event in all history because
it has meant the pouring into a sick world of the
healing medicine of love which has transformed
all manner of hearts for almost 2,000 years …
underneath all the bulging bundles is this
beating Christmas heart.”
—George Matthew Adams
