New Year Repost!!

Greetings! I posted this prayer at the beginning of last year and I came across it again today. Although the year is well underway, I thought it would be perfect to post again. Enjoy!

Happy New Year to you and yours. This message should have come to you days ago, however, I am one of those people that slowly absorbs the passing of the old into the new. I take lots of time for reflection....simply floating in the realm of what next, where to, how...you know...the questions that we face when embarking upon new times and spaces. So, with this new year, 2009, I fully embrace what is to come. I am excited about the new possibilities, the forthcoming knowledge, the reinforcement of solid relationships and the unknowns. Nope, no resolutions for me, just pure unadultered acceptance and embrace.I came across a lovely prayer on one of the many blogs that I read http://www.keepitsimplesista.blogspot.com/ The words of this prayer are so meaningful...and she covered all the bases. I am posting the prayer below and I have changed some of the script specific to my prayer.Dear Heavenly Father...Thank you so much for blessing me with another year....Thank you for all that you have brought myself and my family through this year...Thank you so much for your forgiveness and for your patience...Thank you so much for protecting me and my family daily when we are apart...Thanks so much for blessing my household...Please continue to bless this house...Bless the works of our hands ...And our finances...I pray for the healing of our children....That you will take away their troubles ...That you will open up their hearts and minds...So that they can be healthy and productive....I pray that you will bless all of them in school and in their work...I pray that you will protect them and keep them safe when they are out in the world....I pray that you will just work in them...That one day they will be strong spiritual young adults…I pray for my parents ....That you will continue to heal them both...That you will bless my Father ...Bless my Mother for the sacrifices that she does to help others....And continue to keep them healthy as they age...God bless and protect my Sisters and Brothers.....Continue to be a part of their lives and their children lives...Bless their households and their finances...Father bless and keep my Husband for he is the head ...Give him wisdom, strength and everything he needs physically, and emotionally....Bless him on his job…And keep him safe and in good health.Bless all my friends and family....You know all of their needs ...Last I pray for myself....I pray forgiveness for my short comings, I pray for many, many , many more years....I want to see generations ... grand children , and great great grand children…I pray for my safety and good health...I pray that I can be a good Wife, Mother, Daughter, Sister and friend.....Bless my business ventures and the continued learning as I work to grow each business… and continue to bring new and wonderful people in my life...In Your Son Jesus Christ's Name…Amen
