The first Sunday of 2011 we closed our worship service with this prayer/blessing and many of the words have stayed with me since, guiding my thoughts, my hopes, and my dreams. Enjoy... and let it touch your heart as well!
A blessing as you journey
into the new year
May your eyes be opened to the wonder of the daily miracles around you
and your sense of mystery be deepened.
May you be aware of the light that shines in the darkness,
and that the darkness can never put out.
May you be blessed with companions on the journey,
friends who will listen to you and encourage you with their presence.
May you learn to live with what is unsolved in your heart,
daring to face the questions and holding them
until, one day, they find their answers.
May you find the still, quiet place inside yourself
where you can know and experience the peace that passes understanding.
May love flow in you and through you to those who need your care.
May you continue to dream dreams and to reach out into the future
with a deeper understanding of God’s way for you. Amen
Lynda Wright
