"No matter what happens, keep on beginning and failing.
Each time you fail, start all over again,
and you will grow stronger
until you find that you have accomplished a purpose
--not the one you began with perhaps,
but one you will be glad to remember." ~ Anne Sullivan
Dear God,
thank you for watching over me this past 17 years,
guiding me and instructing me.
Even though there were times when i felt that my heart was too heavy
or when i felt my brain was about to burst,
or when i disobeyed you,
thank you for not giving up on me,
for holding me up when the world crashed on me.
thank you for making me kw that there are so many amazing people that exists on earth,
that love does exists in this world.
no matter how hard the going may be next yr,
no matter how many set backs i may face,
lord i hope you will pull me through it all,
to be a better friend, classmate, chorister and daughter.
Close the door of hate and open the door of love all over the world.
Let kindness come with every gift and good desires with every greeting.
Deliver us from evil by the blessing which Christ brings,
and teach us to be merry with clear hearts.
Give me, O God, the vision which can see Your love in the world in spite of human failure.
Give me the faith to trust Your goodness in spite of our ignorance and weakness.
Give me the knowledge that we may continue to pray with understanding hearts.
And show us what each one of us can do to set forward the coming of the day of universal peace.
Lastly, to my dearest j,
i kw this christmas hasnt been really smooth-sailing and happy for you,
but well,
Always know that there are those whose love and understanding
will always be there,
even when you feel most alone,
even when you feel that you are not been understood.
i will be praying for you that god will bless you with a healthy body.
And most importantly,
Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending, because what you may feel you lack in one regard may be more than compensated for in another.
xoxo,ruth
