Happy New Year everyone! I wish everyone of my readers (Hey Mom and Dad!) a happy, safe and healthy New Year. This picture was funnier when I thought it was a squirrel! I mean what's a hamster doing hooked to a tree outside??I'm not making too many resolutions, but I will try to write at least once a week, and show whatever it is I am working on.
Last year my Dad sent me a prayer that he heard at church for the New Year in 2007. We don't know the author. I saved it, he sent it last January 3rd. I'd like to print it out here, because it really is wonderful. Thanks Dad!
_______________________________________
May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all 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 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, joy to you for the year ahead.
GOD BLESS OUR NEW YEAR.
