As this year comes to an end, we all have the opportunity for a new beginning in 2014. Yes, we have this opportunity each day, yet the coming of a new year gives us the added impetus to make positive changes. Marking time is a uniquely human characteristic that reflects the changing of seasons and the march of days. These natural changes reflect the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. As children of God in nature, we experience these same cycles and the opportunities for change that they represent.
May all the good of we encountered in 2013 be multiplied in each of our lives in 2014. May each of us overcome the bad that we experienced and turn it to good in the coming year. And may God’s love, grace, mercy and forgiveness surround each of us with joy, peace and hope each day of 2014.
Beginning anew,
Z gardener
