(Image from an old calendar, like 1980-82, that I kept on our wall for a lot of years.)
We are so lucky to be given a chance to start anew! Isn't repentance a wonderful thing!
My heart is grateful for that opportunity provided for us by our Savior.
I've printed the poem here just in case it isn't really visible in the picture.
How often
we wish for another chance
To make a fresh beginning,
A chance to blot out our mistakes
And change failure into winning -
And it does not take a New Year
To make a brand-new start,
It only takes the Deep Desire
To try with all our heart
To live a little better
And to always be forgiving
And to add a little "sunshine"
To the world in which we're living -
So never give up in despair
And think that you are Through,
For there's always a Tomorrow
And a chance to start anew.
