May you find beauty in the cold of winter
warmth in the glow of friendship and family
peace in your faith
satisfaction in sociality and solitude
May you rejoice in the laughter of children
and the elderly
and everyone else in between
May you discover delightful things
about yourself and others
May you enjoy good health,
mentally, physically, spiritually
and in all other ways
and may you help other
attain such health and well-being
May you face challenges
that will help you and others grow
But may you also grow as easily
as a blade of grass on warms spring day
May you be blessed with the
knowledge that your life
makes the world better
for those you serve, those you love
and those who love you
past, present and future
May you glimpse the truth
that there are those you know
and those you don't know
who care deeply about you
Who thank God that
you are who you are
May you thank God
and our Savior for who you
are and your life, your blessings
your challenges
If there is within your
Soul a child who
is born with no place
to call home, may you
welcome that child
feed and clothe and
nurture him

I'm slow in getting back to you dear Beck, but I give you an properly aged thank you from the end of our first week of the New Year. Thanks also for reflecting back at me something simple and wonderful. You have a certain way with structure and strength. Thanks for sharing it with me and so many others. You truly do make the world a better place, one pencil mark, one keystroke, one vision, one hug at a time.
