As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth; And all flesh shall see the salvation of God. Luke 3:4-6

The New Beginning
Even now in the chill of winter
Beneath the frozen earth.
Unseen and silently growing
Are the seeds of a new season’s birth
After the gray days of winter
The colors of spring seem to shout,
“That Old Man Winter has gone now,
Come on, it’s time to come out!”
Then you can smell the fragrance
Of the first sweet flowers of spring,
And see the bright shiny newness
That seems to pervade everything.
~Dorothy Kohlberger

A New Year Prayer
Dear Master, for this coming year, just one request I bring;
I do not pray for happiness, or any earthly thing.
I do not ask to understand the way thou leadest me,
But this I ask, Teach me to do the thing that pleaseth Thee.
I want to know thy guiding voice to talk with Thee each day.
Dear Master, make me swift to hear and ready to obey.
And then the year I now begin, a happy year will be
If I am seeking just to do, the thing that pleaseth Thee
~Christian Clippings
