Psalm 119:105, “Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year’s Day. -Edith Lovejoy Pierce
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice. -T.S. Eliot
Take no thought for tomorrow for the day will take care of itself. The past is forever gone and cannot be changed so why worry about it? Tomorrow is just a dream and when it arrives it will be today. We all look at the future on New Year’s Day. Try as we might we still can only see the day. Prepare as many resolutions as we can and still the future is but a distant vision.
As Edith Lovejoy Pierce clearly states we now have a new chapter filled with blank pages. It is up to us to write on each page. What we write can affect us and others. God will help us write on our pages if we will but let Him. He will not write for us but will guide as we write.
An interesting thing about our new pages we can only change things as we write. Once written the record is forever sealed. Every page is a day that will tell how we used our time and talents. No page will be left blank.
This New Year has 365 new pages write upon them what you would be proud for others to read. Each page will be a record we will one day have to give account for. Write well and with care.
