May God make 2011 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.
