If it seems I’ve forgotten or my attention has waned,
I have this New Year at least for a day,
If my behavior’s deficient, my gifts and service found wanting,
I have a New Year at least for a day,
to take another run at it, make a new effort, give it a go and crank up the engine.
I have a New Year at least for a day,
to be a better husband, father, and friend,
a better brother and son my desire to be.
I have a New Year at least for a day,
to be a better follower and servant of Christ,
God should always be first and for that do i thirst,
I have a New Year at least for a day,
If you have made it this far, great patience you have.
You’ve put up with me well and you’re a real pal.
Have a Happy New Year at least for a day,
for only God knows the minutes, hours and days,
my greatest desire is that they’re used well.
And If God wills it and we see one more year,
I pray we’ve moved ahead some and never arrived.
If God wills it and we see one more Year,
I hope these requests still haven’t changed,
and when we look back we can all say,
we have had a healthier, happier and prosperous Year.
Have a Happy New Year at least for a Day.
I love this comment, and I love that my husband Rod admires you so much as a man of God. I was just writing a friend about how forgiveness in the past year of a sibling's mental abuse removed a boulder from my over-weighted shoulders. It was like a New Year in August for me, I've literally and figuratively : ) lost 12 pounds since then. I just keep dropping slowly but surely, and have never felt more spiritually healthy.
ReplyDeleteI pray for your congregation to keep growing, and their burdens to shrink each day. God bless, and one day, hopefully we can get out there for church one Sunday.
HAPPY NEW YEAR & HAPPY NEW LIFE IN CHRIST!
