A little inspiration for our new year’s aspirations, paths to be tread, dreams to be dreamed, and travels that await.
Dear Lord, please give me…
A few friends who understand me and yet remain my friends.
A work to do which has real value, without which the world would feel the poorer…
A mind unafraid to travel, even though the trail be not blazed.
An understanding heart…
A sense of humor.
Time for quiet, silent mediation.
A feeling of the presence of God.
And the patience to wait for the coming of these things, with the wisdom to know them when they come.
~W.R. Hunt
Taken from Treasured Stories of Christmas by Guideposts
I launch my bark on the unknown waters of this year,
with thee, O Father, as my harbor,
thee, O Son at my helm,
thee, O Holy Spirit, filling my sails.
~The Valley of Vision
Roads go ever on and on,
Over rock and under tree,
By caves where sun has never shone,
By streams that never find the sea;
Over snow by winter sown,
And through the merry flowers of June,
Over grass and over stone,
And under mountains in the moon.
Roads Go Ever On and On ~J. R.R. Tolkien
Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the LORD that will stand. ~Proverbs 19:21
