The Christmas decorations are back in the attic, the requisite collards, Hoppin’ John, and cabbage have all been consumed and at work we are back in the office and gearing up for 2012 which means it’s time to clear the clutter from our desks and get organized. Which I have done so - now working on clearing what I did not do from home in 2011 that I said I would...lol Ha that's part of my NEW goals...
Lots of goals trying to meet - let's see if I can do all of them in 2012!
December was a little happy and sad for me thus why I did not post anything for the month - had some life issues going on! Things are somewhat back on track now trying to play catch up!
Will miss all my friends and family that have moved on from this life - I know that you all are in a much better place - I only pray that GOD gives us here on Earth the strengh to carry on and hold you all close within our hearts!
Prayer for 2012 - God Bless us all!
May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half truths and superficial relationships,
So that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression and exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain, rejection, hunger and war,
So that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain to joy.
And may God bless you with enough foolishness
To believe that you can make a difference in the world,
So that you can do what others claim cannot be done,
To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.
Amen
It may seem odd to pray for discomfort, anger, tears, and foolishness… but that’s usually what it takes to do work that matters. Some say 2012 could be the end of the world and others, like me, believe it’s the dawn of something new and unexpected…something great. As the world gets darker the light of Christ will shine brighter. Share that hope. And pray this prayer. The world is waiting.
Have a great 2012!
