Another Chance

               Another chance to dream again;
               Another Trail to take;
               Another chance to start once more-
               New resolutions make.
               Another chance to follow stars
               That Christmas brought our way,
               To keep our aspirations bright-
               Renewing them each day.
               Another chance for greeting friends;
               There's no need for "Goodbye,"
               For old years end to bring, I think,
               Another chance to try:
               For God has plans for each of us
               Such as we never knew-
               Until we reach the Higher Things
               His love can lead us to.

My prayer for this new year, is that each of us will experience the love of God, that leads us to "Higher Things".  And, as in Philipians 3:14, you will "...press on toward the goal..."

May your 2010 be filled with God's Blessings!

Blessings!
