Thought for the Day

Nothing’s gained without an effort,
No battles won without a fight,
Never let your heart be heavy
Dawn will always follow night.
Never a road without a turn,
Seek and find a better way,
Look ahead, the path is smoother,
There will come a brighter day.
Never let the worries harm you,
Or the doubt and fear begin,
There will be a new tomorrow,
Keep the light of hope within!

(Iris Hesselden, Friendship Book 2011)

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in  heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our  debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us  from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the  power, and the glory for ever.
Amen.
