New beginnings, new chances…

This always comes into our mind while we enter a New Year.

In fact there is no new beginning our life journey simply continues.

That’s our journey. Sometimes it is full of failures,

full of pain, full of sorrow.

But also it is blessed by love, peace and grace.

Our life journey is complicated like these branches of the willow tree.

Each one of the branches has its meaning, each one brings life.

Each one has its own importance.

And all together create a nice and meaningful picture.

Let our Heavenly Father lead us in our life journey

and support us with His hand.

1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
       I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 23 (NIV)
