A DEFINITION OF THE NEW YEAR
The new year is a door
By which we reach new fields
Of service for God and fellow man:
A door by which we can explore
Wide spheres of usefulness
Our world to bless,
And reap the sheaves
God's word of witness yields.
The new year is a task
Set by the Master of our souls,
A little part of our life's work below:
And so we ask holy wisdom
which alone controls
Our labor, teaching what
and where to sow:
That the year, at its end,
May show God's glory
and man's profit blend.
The new year is a book
With many pages,
and as yet all white
On which to write
The history of thought,
and deed, and word
In this new group of days.
We pray thee, Lord,
As thou shalt look upon the book,
When written over,
may all be to Thy praise.

GOOD MORNING !
I hope you all got to sleep in and relax a little this morning. It’s the only day of the week that I really get to do that. Monday – Friday is work and Sunday morning is church.
I fell asleep in my chair last night and then woke up to go to bed and then managed to sleep in this morning. Guess I need that extra sleep.
I do feel good this morning and will soon get busy and tackle all my Saturday chores . I love being home.
Beginning today it’s supposed to get much colder and by midweek we’ll be down in the low 20’s…BRRCHILL. Guess I better line up some of that warm clothing to wear this coming week.
It’ll will be a busy day , but a very enjoyable one.
THOUGHT FOR TODAY
The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue.

I slept very late today and it was great. I find as I get older that I need more sleep than I did when I was young. Happy you got some good rest. : )
