This month's theme:

God hears all our desires, our hopes for the future, our dreams, our thoughts about our most basic needs, our concerns about our well being and our cares for those around us.

If we can't understand our circumstances and life doesn't seem fair to us or those we love, remember that God is love and desires only the best for us. So keep acting out of love to others, keep the faith and God will come to you.

 When you show an act of kindness to someone, it's like a piece of Heaven come down to earth!

 So watch what you say and be careful what you wish for!

Think on good things, suspect only good about people and let your heart lead you to the best life has to offer!



New Year's Quotes: 

Progress belongs to the Askers; the smarter the question, the lesser the guessing. Aniekee Tochukwu Ezekiel

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down. Mary Pickford 

  

We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. 
Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.
Ellen Goodman 

There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind. CS Lewis

Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, 

by fearing to attempt. William Shakespeare

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. Albert Einstein

What we are praying for:

Let's continue to pray for peace throughout the World and for safety and provision for the individual.
Let's continue to pray that people everywhere will have the courage and desire to let God be revealed in them.

God, we pray that all nations will practice fair, reasonable communications with peaceful negotiations and turn from violence and deception. 

God, help those in charge the wisdom to stop terrorism. Comfort all who have lost loved ones to acts of violence. Help them to forgive. Bring healing to them and give them new courage to live in honour of their loved ones. 

God, we pray that this new year people everywhere will experience your love, your peace, and that they will have the inspiration, the resources, the courage and the strength to start their lives anew! God, give them the courage to let go of the things they have outgrown and start new ways of looking at their world and new ways of doing things. Put the desire in their hearts to ask you for enlightenment.

God, we pray that all children will have their basic needs met in a safe environment where they can learn the skills they need to contribute to their community and prosper.
This new year may people be lead by your spirit to seek your love and wisdom. Help them to open their hearts to your love and allow it to heal them and flow through to those around them.



Scriptures: 

Jeremiah 29: 11. God's plans are to prosper you and to give you hope and a future.

Proverbs 19:17. If you help the poor, you are lending to the Lord— and he will repay you!

Philippians 4: 6-8. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 

Welcome the New Year and the new you!!
