On lee's knees


New Years eve has dawned on us.  God we have ended another year and stand on the shore of a new one.  What will it hold?  Only You know.  What we do know is that great joys await us.  Adventures and thrills as we have never known. Sights of beauty, love and moments of exquisite fulfillment will be ours this year.  Abundant love, love so deep and fresh our hearts will weep rivers.  Happiness and gladness, joy and hope, laughter and sincerity, all shall lift us up this year and carry us along as the wind in winter’s wheat.  God, all of this and more You have created anew for us to live this coming year.  But then there is the other side.  Life will come this year in many ways that will hurt beyond hurt.  God shield us and ours in ways that give us wisdom instead of scars for all the days coming that will wound and harm us. 

A new year.   We know that no tomorrow is guaranteed but in Your graciousness You allow us once, every 365 days to behold the promise of an entire new year.  Such a gift!  If a second of time is of such value what can a year hold?  Opportunity.  OPPORTUNITY!  Unbelievable opportunity!!!  Oh God help us to serve You with all our hearts, souls, minds and strengths as the greatest opportunity of our lives.  Remind us daily to love others, as we are so fond of caring for ourselves.  Help us to pray diligently and give completely to our spouses and our families.  Allow us the life of seeking out the hurting, the hungry, the unloved and unlovable and once we find them, help us to be You to them.  Let us be love, nourishment, comfort and aid to all, let none be turned away, but all will be, however slight, aware that God loves them.  God give us the opportunity to remain daily grateful, thankful and overwhelmingly sincere in our awareness of Your love for us in the way You create Your beautiful world.  Let us hear the birds sing, see the blue skies, know the tress and hills and relish in every still small voice of Your creative love.  God it is all You, nothing above or beyond but You, You and Eternally You, forever and ever, Good and Love. 

A whole year!  A whole new year!  A whole Happy New Year.
