A Prayer of Hope for The New Year

by Christine Sine

As I look back on this last year and some of the pain and suffering it has unfolded it is hard to hold onto hope. But as I   think of the new year that is coming, and the new possibilities it holds I am filled with hope.

As I await this new year, I have been meditating on a beautiful children’s book that was given to me this Christmas A Child’s Garden: A Story of Hope. It is a delightful, hope giving story of destruction and regeneration, of death giving way to life. May you too look forward with the hope of renewal and regrowth out of death and destruction.
