new year's prayers {a repost}
new year's prayers...
nieces and nephews.
friends from far away.
college friends.
neighbors who just moved in.
their cards have come to you.
telling you their year in review.
what's to become of them
when you've oohed and aahed over how they've grown
and stand in awe of what the year has shown?
gather them up
and punch a hole
attach a book ring
and a label that reads "Christmas + YEAR."
now keep it somewhere visible as the new year begins
for now it's time to specifically pray for your family and friends.
wanting to create an environment where we talk to God just like we would a Father
the boys choose a card and their sweet prayers for you they offer.
when we pray for you, we often ask for God's wisdom,
that He would give you favor this year to come,
and that you would be brave to risk much for Him and His Kingdom.
