Happy New Year!

Christmas – Season of Promise

I stand before you, Lord, ready for a new day, a new year. How quickly the years follow one after the other, piling up behind me. I have more to look back upon than to anticipate.

The New Year’s Eve service is quiet, then a quiet celebratory dinner with my beloved and bed by ten. One year seems much the same as the next.

But not so, Lord, not so. With you the years will stretch into an eternity of love where I always have reason to hope.  Each new year is rich with promise. Thus I praise your name and bless you, today and all the days of my life.

“The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!”     Numbers 6:24-26
