My Hope for You in the New Year
Joyce Rupp, adapted
I hope…
…the single most significant dimension of life is your relationship with the Spirit of Life
and Love, who never ceases to sing love songs to your soul.
…you daily find meaning, purpose, and vitality in all you do.
…you treasure your loved ones and let them know how precious they are to you.
…you make choices and decisions that reflect your truest self.
…you look in the mirror at least once a day and smile in happy amazement.
…you remember relationships are what count above all else, more than work or money,
or the material things we spend so much time tending.
…you live in an uncluttered manner, enjoying the freedom to be content.
…you keep your sense of humor when things don’t go as planned.
…you find adventure in each new day and marvel at the wonders of creation which
constantly present themselves to you.
…you never give up on yourself when others turn away or do not understand.
…you are attentive to the health of your body, mind, and spirit.
…you take risks and accept the growth-filled challenges as they come.
…you draw on your inner strength and resilience when you need it.
…you carry peace within yourself, and encourage it to slip into the hearts of others, so our
planet becomes a place where violence, division, and war are no more.
Wishing you all this and so much more…
With Great Love and Affection,
Rev. Beau
