it is upon us..the birthing of a New Year....the awakening of many of our hopes, dreams and aspirations....and as we are close to the final days of 2007 we all can not help but reflect on the year we have had...each one of us has gone thru a year with many blessings and many challenges...we have grown..we have gained wisdom and insight and now we are ready to apply this to what lies ahead for each of us...
We remember those who are no longer with us and are now on the other side guiding our way....we remember the events that shook the world in 2007....we remember those who walked into our lives and hearts...and finally we remember the grace we were shown each day....it is easy to lose sight of the strength and patience that each of us is given at each moment...as we look deeper we see that we were never alone and always were lifted by the arms of many....
As we close our eyes for a minute and offer our hearts in prayer...we pray...we pray that the light of truth always be revealed to us...we pray that we live in the truth of who we are and find the courage to follow our dreams and heart's calling...we pray that we never become too involved to walk away from another's pain...we pray that we find love and hope always in our hearts and minds...in times of turbulence we pray for faith and patience...we pray that the peace and joy that we feel in our hearts at this moment transcends and becomes the light and calm that will be upon all nations and people...we pray our hearts will be removed from all ill feelings and thou
ghts...we pray that all people will always have shelter, food, and warmth in their hearts...and the sick of mind, heart or body never lose hope nor faith...
Dear God...your blessings are countless...on the days to follow please know we are grateful....protect and light our journey....
With the Grace that is bestowed upon each of us...With the love that is amongst all our souls...With the hope that all dreams are made of..wiith the purity of all children's heart....with the selflessness and kindness that Christ revealed to the world...may this New Year bless you and your loved ones in harmony and joy and good health....peace be upon the earth...joy be upon the world...may the birth of this New Year be celebrated in your heart and throughout the year....may each inhale and exhale be of gratitude..may love and light guide your way....may the spirit of the Divine rest in you souls....with love and many blessings of joy....
