75th Birthday

Thank You for the year just ahead

For the hope it holds

For the promise it proclaims

For the expectation of greater things

For the anticipation of what lies in the distance

For the opportunities You'll give me to bless others and for others blessing me

For 365 unseen days overflowing with Your grace.

(Jonathan Dukes in Prayers For Every Need, p. 237)
