On this New Year's Eve, I hope that we can go up. I hope that we can come together amongst our brokenness and find faith in each other. I hope we do not have to experience so many sinking hearts because another gun was fired unjustly or because another life was so suddenly taken from us. Over Christmas, my dad asked if I wanted to find or write a prayer for Christmas dinner. I found one online that instantly resonated with me, so I copied and pasted it into a document and added some of my own words to it: Dear loving Lord, You didn’t come to a perfect world. You came to people, full of complexity and confusion. You came humbly, to a simple family, to walk a journey of tears and glory. Now come again to our fragile hearts Let our hearts be your home. Prepare that place where peace and joy surround us. Let us be humble, receiving and giving your ever loving mercy. May our souls sing praise and dwell in your love and hope. In Your name, Amen [original Christmas prayer] We do not live in a perfect world. We are complex beings. We have fragile hearts. But I hope through this fragility and complexity, we can search and find hope and love in each other. If we can dwell in this faith, we can thrive and grow as we exist together in this ever spinning world. to conclude, watch what this world searched for this year:
