” 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.” 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. (Minnie Louise Haskins.)
It mades no sense but I couldn’t seem to shake my apprehension about this year. There’s no logical reason, it wasn’t due to Trump, Korea, Brexit etc. those kind of things are always around. It was the actual date 2018, something about the numbers . I kept telling myself it was stupid, but nothing worked till I came accross this quote. Then I remembered, it doesn’t matter what may be ahead as long as my hand is firmly in His.

2018 is going to be a good year for all of us – I’ve made my mind up. 🙂 God be with us all, Claire.
Kindness – Robert.
I’m hoping you are right (there are some things I’m happy to be wrong about lol!) Happy new year may it be the best!
Yes – may it be the best so far. 🙂
The wise one at the gate of the year reminds me where to focus my energy. His words remind me of the serenity prayer, and to have courage looking to God for safety and strength. I can always use reminders.
I sure wouldn’t have made it this far without Him!
