The New Year

This is a picture of a small framed print that previously hung in my dear Grandmother's kitchen for many years until she gave it to me.  It now hangs with honor in my own kitchen.  I captured this photograph with the reflection of my morning cup of tea.  I have always been captivated by its verse which poetically reveals the essence of faith.  May it be an encouragement to you at the start of this New Year.  It reads:

"I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:  Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.  And he replied:  Go out into the darkness and put thine hand into the hand of God.  That shall be to thee better than light and safer than a known way."
