As this year turns to the next,
Bless the passing of time, God, whether we like it or not. Bless children growing right before our eyes, our ageing bodies and ageing parents. Bless the presence of each moment, and the movement of hours turning into days, weeks, months, seasons, years, lifetimes. For the year behind us, may we be graced with memories. Give us hearts large enough to hold heartaches, resilient enough to accept losses, and content enough to be grateful. For the year ahead, give us open hands and open minds. Help us embrace growth and beauty, unknowing and paradox. Bless the good earth who grounds us, and horizons that give us space to see. Bless the sun who travels the globe each day, and the moon whose change night by night is perceptible. Bless the water with is many forms, modelling change and transformation. Bless the sky and its moods, brilliant and drab and everything in between. Bless us with rituals that bring shape and meaning to our days. Bless us with companions who provide connection and comfort. Bless us with hope in a future with light, love, and laughter. - Wendy Janzen
