May you…
Walk life’s journey with joy,
Abiding in Abba’s all-encompassing embrace
Trusting His lead through troublesome trails and
Open to portals of possibility on unforeseen paths.
May you…
Greet the day with gratitude and gladness
Cherishing connection to Christ’s creation
Heart full of awe as forests and fields of green
Enfold and refresh your weary soul.
May you...
Excitedly explore all opportunities offered
Expectant of Immanuel always enroute,
Adjourning at intersections to encounter and engage
With kindness and curiosity all you meet.
May you...
Lit by the lamp of his love
Light the way to the Lord for all you encounter
Bearing hope for humanity
Humility filled, to follow the Father’s footsteps.
May you...
Prepare for pilgrimage and party
Marking the moments of life’s adventure
With cairn like care for those who follow
Radically rooted in prayer and praise.
May you...
Savour simplicity; finding joy
In the humdrum everyday extraordinary,
Taking pleasure in the treasure of transient things
Celebrating the communion of the commonplace.
May you…
Tend the treasure of all that is sown in you
Nurturing its growth for the good of others…and his glory,
Seeking the score for your unique song
That dwells within, longing to be brought to birth.
May you…
In the ebb and flow, find a love of life
Living lightly, intentionally, informed,
Journeying joyfully seeking stories to share:
Kindness, with Christ as a compass, accompanying your way.
May you…
Cherish those close to you
Holding and honouring the hours together
In love, laughter, and words of endearment
No dreams unlived nor regrets of words unsaid.
May you…
Learn to soar in the strength of the Spirit,
Confident of Abba’s everlasting arms
To carry your world-weary soul through strident storms
Ready, after rest with the Redeemer, to rise again.
