New Year.......

What the New Year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the New Year--Vern McLellan

In a Church, worshipers annually celebrate the end of the old year and the beginning of the new one with what they call a "burning service".

Each member of the congregation brings to the Altar a paper on which he or she has written failures and mistakes, plus changes to be made during the New Year? The paper is dropped into a flaming urn.

One year, two men who had once been friends, but had quarrelled over a business deal stood side by side at the Altar. After dropping their papers into the urn, they got up, faced each other and shook hands.

At each New Year it is common to make new resolutions, but in the life of the individual, each day is the beginning of a new year, if he will only make it so. A mere date on the calendar is no more a divider of time than a particular grain of sand divides the desert.
