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
