GOOD MORNING, GOD, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Oh, Lord, is it appropriate for us to wish you, the One who began the days and months and years, a Happy New Year? Perhaps we should listen to your wishes to us for the New Year, for we do believe you always want us to have the best you can give.
Perhaps you caused the words to the camp song we sing to be written down:
I wish for you, my friend, this happiness that I've found.
You can depend on it, it matters not where you're bound.
I'll shout it from the mountain top: Praise God!
The Lord above has come to you. You ought to pass it on!
What's that, Lord? That isn't exactly the way the words go? Well, this is the way we ought to feel toward you who did start everything and who does keep it going and who does promise a future with you. So, Lord, as we begin this New Year Two Thousand Twelve, Anno Domini, may we indeed make it 2012, in the year of our Lord, in your year, gracious and loving God.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
