Week End January 4, 2019
{quotes}
As the year comes to a close, look ahead to the promises God will reveal.
The new year will bring what you bring to it. Bring hope. Bring faith. Bring joy. May God’s blessing be upon you in the year ahead.
Hope is not in the new year, but in the One who makes the year new.
All that pleases us is only for a moment. All that troubles us comes and goes. All that is worthy, true and everlasting comes from God.
Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Mark Twain
Every word counts. Every gesture has meaning. Every breath is God’s holy testament.

Ready for the New
When I fall help me rise. When I fail help me strive. I know life can never be without its ups and downs, but help from You, is what I can count on. Open the door I am ready for the new, I am ready to succeed with help from You.
Be My Help
God save me from resolutions which invite failure. Be my help as I focus on self-improvement simply by changing unhealthy habits. Keep me steady, sturdy, and upright. Celebrate with me the many worthy opportunities offered me.
Little Souls
Lord, keep the children happy, healthy, and whole. Let learning and love be their calling, never to be discouraged by challenge or hardship. May Your holy light shine brightly and may their little souls grow to know peace.
My Heart
My heart. It beats without stopping and I thank You for its wondrous design. My heart. The one You placed in my body, keeping me alive to do Your work. My heart. Source of energy, source of joy, the place where love resides. Praise to You God, for the power of a mighty heart.
God’s Will
God, Your will not mine. Remove this stubborn mindset that I know better. Send me a sign and I will see it. Lead me to my destiny and I will fulfill Your promise.
