Happy New Year ~ 2008

GROWTH

Let me be a little kinder;
Let me be a little blinder
To the faults of those about me;
Let me praise a little more;
Let me be, when I am weary,
Just a little bit more cheery;
Let me serve a little better
Those that I am striving for.

Let me be a little braver
When temptations bid me waver;
Let me strive a little harder
To be all that I should be;
Let me be a little meeker
With the brother that is weaker;
Let me think more of my neighbor
And a little less of me.

Let me be a little sweeter;
Make my life a bit completer,
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day.
Let me toil without complaining,
Not a humble task disdaining,
Let me face the summons calmly
When death beckons me away.
(Words by Glenn Campbell)

Lord, help me say this everyday of 2008. Amen

yahWhat a lovely way to approach the new year. It should be the desire of each of us. None of those things come naturally, thus the increased need for The Holy Spirit in our lives each day.
Love ya, LaydieAnne***
