A New Year Blessing

Today…

May you be blessed with good health and happiness, May your guardian angels protect you, keep you safe from harm, and blanket you with joy, contentment, peace and prosperity.

May you be guided with the wisdom to make choices that will enhance your life and the awareness to make changes that are in your heart. Remember the secret to achieving anything is in your heart, and your decisions should be your choices.

Change flows from the inside out when you allow love to help you. Like us, love does not want to impose or be where it is not wanted, so it will wait silently in the wings until you recognize it and let it help you achieve your full potential.

May you reach that magical combination of confidence and humility, effort and
relaxation. Reality and optimism…all the things that will give you wings for your
flight as you pursue your purpose.

May you have a storehouse of opportunities, the ability to meet your goals, and the satisfaction of your own approval and acceptance?

May you have a strong spirit and a willing mind. May your heart be filled with love to help you become all you want to be and overcome anything that holds you back.

May you always remember that you’re someone very special. Show the world your loving heart, and don’t be afraid to encourage others, for what you give, you’ll get back.

May you always know that you have a purpose here, wrap your arms around life and challenge yourself to be boldly and beautifully you.

May you always view life as a beautiful gift, and realize the moments are all you have control over.

May you always stay grounded, keep your focus, and never lose sight of what is valuable.

May you always know that anything is possible, and nothing can steal your joy
No matter what is going on around you.

May there be wonders waiting around every corner and rainbows across your sky as you go now and make a positive difference in this crazy, mixed up world.

I pass this blessings unto you, and my hope for this new year is that each of you will always know how much the Lord loves you, and how much I appreciate each of you who visit Encouragement From My Heart.
