2. I am an unspoiled page in your book of time. I Am the New Year.

3. I am your next chance at the art of living. I am your opportunity to practice what you have learned about life during the last twelve months.

4. All that you sought and didn’t find is hidden in me, waiting for you to search out but with more determination.

5. All the good that you tried to do and didn’t achieve is mine to grant when you have fewer conflicting desires.

6. All that you dreamed but didn’t dare to do, all that you hoped but did not will, all the faith that you claimed but did not have—these slumber lightly, waiting to be awakened by the touch of a strong purpose.

7. I am your opportunity to renew your allegiance to Him who said, Author unknown "Behold, I make all things new!"

8. The New Year like a book lies before me; On its cover two words, "My Life," I see. I open the covers and look between-- Each page is empty, no words can be seen, For I am a writer, I hold the pen That'll fill these pages to be read by men. Just what kind of book will my book be, My life written there for others to see, Each day a page written, one by one-- Will it be worthwhile when finished and done? Lord, help me keep these pages clean and fair By living the life I'd have written there. --Gertrude Laura Gast HAPPY NEW YEAR!
