In one sense, New Year’s Day is no different than any other day. After all, the calendar we live by is a human construction. Yet in another way, the new year always brings with it the sense of a fresh start, “another chance to get it right” as Oprah would say. So it begs the question, why not start every day with that attitude?
Christmas trees and tinsel
Yule logs and holly
Turkey and Christmas pudding
Praise God who calls us on from here,
Praise Christ whose presence calms our fear,
Praise Holy Spirit in our lives,
God calls and leads and through us thrives. Amen.
May you be gifts to those you see
Better than presents under a tree
