A New Year’s Thought
Let us walk softly, friend;
For strange paths lie before us all untrod,
The New Year, spotless from the hand of God,
Is thine and mine, O friend.
Let us walk straightly, friend
Forget the crooked paths behind us now, Press on with steadier purpose on our brow,
To better deeds, O friend.
Let us walk kindly, friend;
We cannot tell how long this life shall last,
How soon these precious years be overpast;
Let Love walk with us, friend!
Lillian Gray
Our earnest prayer for this New Year is that at and for First Baptist we will be able to walk softly, straightly and kindly as we walk together to minister in His name to all persons with whom we come in contact via the Internet or in person. For we are all on a spiritual pilgrimage whether we take time to admit it or not and no matter how we appear to others. And we exist as a church fellowship to grow together with you because Jesus who came to make God known in His reality promised also that He came that we might have life, and that life more abundantly. Remember YOU matter, to GOD and to us.
