Here is my Thought for the Week:
A Prayer for a Happy New Year
As we start this New Year may we walk gently.
May we be kind and gentle with ourselves each day.
May we have courage and hope during the difficult days
May we hold the light for others when we sense their darkness and difficulty
May we take lots of small steps rather than those random big leaps
May we trust our God, the creator of all life knowing we have a beautiful purpose in life.
May we try to do our best each day knowing this is all we can do.
May we treasure the gift that is today knowing that the real treasure is the beauty and simplicity that you bring to this day.
May we do our best to make the most of this coming year
