May God make your year a happy one!<\/p>\n
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain, But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
\nNot by making your path easy, But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
\nNot by taking hardships from you, But by taking fear from your heart;
\nNot by granting you unbroken sunshine, But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
\nNot 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.<\/p>\n
God\u2019s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead.<\/p>\n
As I look out my window and watch the sunrise over the cornfield; I thank God for richly blessing me with so many gifts…<\/p>\n
I pray that for each day in 2010 I don’t take one of His gifts for granted. For I am so richly blessed.<\/p>\n
