New Beginnings

Another year is dawning;
dear Father, let it be,
In working or in waiting,
another year with thee.
Another year of progress,
another year of praise,
Another year of proving
thy presence all the days.
Another year of service,
of witness for thy love;
Another year of training
for holier work above.
Another year is dawning;
dear Father let it be,
on earth, or else in heaven,
another year for thee.

- Frances Ridley Havergal


There truly is no better place to be than in the house of the Lord, welcoming in the new year with praise and prayer, family and friends, and above all, God Himself. One eventful year has drawn to a close, and today, we start a new one - one that is bound to bring more opportunities, experiences, ups and downs, laughter and tears. Here's wishing everyone a most blessed two thousand and eight. May God bless, guide and be with you all through the coming days, and may every single one of you also turn to Him in the face of anything and everything, knowing that He will always be there for us; that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

To a fresh start and the creation of yet another year of precious memories,

Cheers.

Happy new year, all!
