• January 3, 2006 - New Year's Prayer

I discovered this poem while browsing through a book of Havergal's poems on Saturday.

 

Another Year

 

Another year is dawning!

Dear Master let it be,

In working or in waiting,

Another year with Thee.

 

Another year of leaning

Upon Thy loving breast,

Of ever-deepening trustfulness,

Of quiet, happy rest.

 

Another year of mercies,

Of faithfulness and grace;

Another year of gladness

In the shining of Thy face.

 

Another year of progress,

Another year of praise;

Another year of proving

Thy presence 'all the days.'

 

Another year of service,

Of witness for Thy love;

Another year of training

For holier work above.

 

Another year is dawning,

Dear Master, let it be,

On earth, or else in heaven,

Another year for Thee!

 

~Frances Ridley Havergal

I love the poem!

Depart from evil, do good,
Seek peace, and pursue it

Hannah,
This is Caity's mom (Mrs. R.). We wanted to let you know that we had to set up Caity a new blog. For some reason homeschoolblogger is not logging me out and letting Caity and Sara log in. So, her new blog is www.joywithchrist.blogspot.com
We haven't set Sara up with a new one yet. Just wanted to let you know. :)

Hi! I'm Hannah, a 16-year-old homeschool student in Alabama. Dad encouraged me to start a blog to share brief Scripture thoughts with my sisters in Christ. Hopefully others will join in, and we can encourage each other in the Lord!
