Grant me the strength from day to day to bear what burdens come my way. Grant me throughout this bright New Year more to endure and less to fear. Help me live that I may be from spite and petty malice free.
Let me not bitterly complain when cherished hopes of mine prove vain, or spoil with deeds of hate and rage some fair tomorrow's spotless page. Lord, as the days shall come and go in courage let me stronger grow.
Lord, as the New Year dawns today help me to put my faults away. Let me be big in little things; grant me the joy which friendship brings. Keep me from selfishness and spite; let me be wise in what is right.
A Happy New Year! Grant that I may bring no tear to any eye. When this New Year in time shall end let it be said I've played the friend, have lived and loved and labored here, and made of it a happy year. - Edgar A. Guest

Katherine, this is a beautiful and appropirate New Year post. Love the picture with the cross in the bow.
I won't be taking down my decorations until right after Jan. 6, the Day of the Three Kings.

Thank you Katherine! I love Guest. When he wrote, it was a simpler time. Perhaps faith was a simpler thing then. We tend to have complicated our world so much.
You asked what my grandson, the artist:), did for me for Christmas this year? A gift certificate to The Red Lobster! :D Kids.
Your site is just beautiful. I always enjoy the eye candy.

Happy New Year to you and your family, Katherine!
Hugs,
Kelli
