Blessing for the New Year
May the Lord bless you and keep you;
May the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you; May the Lord turn
his face toward you and give you peace.
Wish for the New Year
Dear Lord, please give me…
A few friends who understand me and remain my friends;
A work to do which has real value, without which the world would be the poorer;
A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed;
An understanding heart;
A sense of humour;
Time for quiet, silent meditation;
A feeling of the presence of God;
The patience to wait for the coming of these things,
With the wisdom to recognize them when they come. – Author Unknown
