Wings of Hope

It wasn't in me to celebrate New Year's Eve, all I could do was whisper a prayer of thanksgiving that 2004 was over.

Rains hamper relief efforts in Asia, but the day here is sunny and the temperature nearly sixty. Although it's just the beginning of winter, the springlike weather reminds me of rebirth and gives me hope.

Like a phoenix rising out of the ashes, I'll get past my problems, adjust to whatever changes are needed and get on with my life. I'll pray for my family and friends and this hurting world.

Lord, in the midst of war and great tragedy, offer this planet of despair the wings of hope to begin again.
