For (probably!) my last post of 2023, may God’s richest blessing fill your hearts and lives and be upon those whom you love and those you pray for this New Year.

Lord, give me I pray:

A remembering heart for the things that have happened.
An attentive heart to what I have learned.
A forgiving heart for what has hurt.
A grateful heart for what has blessed.
A brave heart for what may be required.
An open heart to all that may come.
A trusting heart to go forth with You.
A loving heart for You and all your creation.
A longing heart for the reconciliation of all things.
A willing heart to say “Yes” to what You will.
Amen.

Leighton Ford.
