This is the first Warm Thoughts column for 1998: An unknown author once wrote this New Year’s thought…”What the New Year will bring us depends a great deal on what we bring into the New Year.” Among the many Christmas greeting cards received were many warm thoughts.
A Prayer for Peace
Dear Lord, let this be a year that moves us one step closer to each other. Let this be a year that brings us understanding in our hearts. Let this be a year that fills us with a yearning burning feeling for peace with one another and a oneness, Lord, with You!
The New Year is a refreshing thought. It speaks of a new opportunity, a new beginning, a new start. It is a moment to consider again where we are going. Each New Year finds us at a different place in our life’s journey. How we approach the opportunity of each New Year determines which way we are going.
The New Year is best entered when some fresh dreams have challenged the heart, when some step of faith has been applied to plans, and when some consideration has been given to goals and objectives. The New Year is ours to turn some corners and start an upward climb in our journey through life.
More New Year’s Thoughts: “The past is my heritage, the present is my responsibility, and the future is my challenge.” Lord, grant me the common sense to profit by my yesterday, the wisdom to live to the utmost my today and vision to cope with my tomorrows. I know not what the future holds, but I know WHO holds the future. Best wishes for renewed hopes for peace, joy, and success in the New Year!
