It is time to say goodbye
To a year filled with questions like why?
Why didn’t I get married?
Why didn’t I get rich?
Why I didn’t I do what I was supposed to do?
Why, why, why and why?
And what was up with all the drama?
Somebody should have followed you and me with a camera.
Reality TV don’t have anything on us.
Yet, its time to say goodbye,
To a year that has had it shares of ups and downs
Many smiles and frowns.
So in the back of our minds
We think and rewind
We meditate, and debate.
Who and what is going in
And who and what is going out.
After all some of our lives are marked up like a hallway in the projects,
Sometimes we are scarred by words,
Words like failure, words like foolishness,
Words like frustration, words like fear.
But that is when you take this living water
And wash your self in this word.
And faithfully bathe yourself in prayer.
And watch the walls of your life become white.
While we change out the calendars
and daytimers of our lives,
just remember its not so much a new year,
as it is for us a new time.
For a new time is everyday.
Its God’s gift to us.
So while we pile up resolutions,
Or like I like to say
Re- solutions. (things we doing over and over again with minimum or less success)
Stop the insanity.
And realize, that new years doesn’t begin with the clock strikes midnight.
But when the clock strikes midnight in your heart.
That could be tomorrow,
Or in two minutes.
Either way, its you who decides when there is going to be a new time
We have nothing to do with when a new year comes.
Let God bring newness to your life with gladness
And invite to your life the greatest expectation.
The new year is like the kingdom of Heaven,
Its in you.
But of course, there is something you and I have to do.
Happy New Year
Richard J Wright
