New Year Benediction: Being Aware And On The Lookout (based on Matthew 13:9)


As we leave today, we head into an unmapped future. As we live it, may we have our eyes, ears, hearts, and minds open.  May we be aware of God's presence, which can be found everywhere around us as well as within us. May we be on the lookout for it in the parts of our lives where we could use more love and grace. May we pour it out into God's world, which yearns to be made new again.

May compassion and hope, which are found in God, be the road on which we walk, today and always.
