I was doing some research for my women's Sunday School session this week and I came across a poem that I wanted to share with you. I would love to give credit to the author, but none was mentioned.
A New Year’s Prayer
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 the 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 and joy to you for the year ahead.
Sweet Blessings,
LeAnn

As a lover of the verses (poetry) it is heartwarming...Thank You, God for giving this to the author and the author for sharing it with another, and you LeAnn for wishing this to us.
