THE GATE OF THE YEAR

THE GATE OF THE YEAR


And I said to the man who 

stood at the gate of the year:

“Give me a light, that I may 

tread safely into the unknown!”

And he replied:

“Go out into the darkness and 

put your hand into the Hand of God.

That shall be to you better than light 

and safer than a known way” 

So, I went forth, and finding the Hand of God,

trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards 

the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East.

(Minnie Louise Haskins 1875-1957).


In 2020 may your highs be Olympian

In your lows, may the rains fall softly

on your path as the road rises to you

For from his fullness may you all receive, 

grace upon grace, favours upon favours.


“For all that has been,

Thank you.

For all that is to come,

Yes!”

Happy New year to you all

A Year of Jubilee of Jubilations
