New Year’s Reflections

Looking back on the months gone by,
As a new year starts and an old one ends,
We contemplate what brought us joy,
And we think of our loved ones and our friends.
Recalling all the happy times,
Remembering how they enriched our lives,
We reflect upon who really counts,
As the fresh and bright new year arrives.
And when I/we ponder those who do,
I/we immediately think of you.
Thanks for being one of the reasons I'll/We'll have a Happy New Year!

"If we wish away the moments, they will be gone. The things we have wanted to leave-the mess, the noise, the obligations-will be gone, but so will the children! This is true of every moment of life. If we do not see its joys, if we do not make the most of it, it will pass-and so will its opportunities."
~Jaroldeen Edwards

"How different the peace of God from that of the world! It calms the passions, preserves the purity of conscience, is inseparable from righteousness, unites us to God, and strengthens us against temptation. The peace of the soul consists in an absolute resignation to the will of God."
~David O. McKay
