Happy New Year! TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poet
And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear the guilty; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth generation. EXODUS 34:6 & 7 KJV

BEGIN ANOTHER YEAR
to Steve, Chris and Tim Hults

Holy Lord God, Deliverer,
Maker of miracles that bless;
Heavenly Father, Mighty God,
Thank you for your loving kindness.
Jehovah, Judge, King eternal,
Creator of wonderful things;
God of Heaven, Fortress, I Am,
I praise you for what each day brings.
A new year's beginning for me,
And I'm not sure which way to go;
Show me what you would have me do,
Teach me what you would have me know.
Fill my heart with compassion Lord,
Let me reach out to those in need;
Where there's no way help me find one,
Lead me as I serve those that lead.
Surround me with peaceful neighbors,
Loyal friends and close family;
Keep us all safe and in good health,
Help us grow spiritually.
This year you were again faithful,
Merciful and slow to anger;
Your great love keeps my feet grounded,
My future mercy will insure.
Last year I witnessed forgiveness,
As you wiped away one last tear;
When the clock strikes twelve and moves on,
We will begin another year.
