A New Year -Reflection and Hope

As the New Year approaches, we tend to think back on the previous year and reflect on our accomplishments, goals achieved, wishes granted and hope that somehow, we might have a made some significant and meaningful contribution to the lives of our families, friends and loved ones.

But,as time passes and memories of what was, fade into the distance,we tend to look ahead at what we hope to achieve in this brand new year.New goals, new aspirations,new chances , all in the hopes of helping to make this a more peaceful and better world for all of us.

But, one memory that should never fade, one wish or goal that should remain in the hearts and minds of all of us,are for those who's only wish, only hope is to be afforded the opportunity to live in a world where there is ample food, ample shelter and ample health care for themselves and their children.Their hopes and dreams are not much different than our own, but they are far more distant and unachievable than our own, due to the circumstances they find themselves living each and every day.

And so, I ask, that as we look forward to the year ahead,we remember,reflect upon and pray for those who with our continued help and support may actually see a bright future ahead and many new years to come.
