THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE BLESSED

THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE BLESSED

WHAT Shall I ask of the year that dawning ? What shall I hope as i face the new day ? What shall I ask on the very first morning ? What shall I wish, and for what should I pray ? . . . Ask for an eye that is open to beauty. Ask for a faith that no bludgeon can break. Ask for the patience to do every duty_with a good humour that nothing can shake.
                            Now at this time of the year's new beginning. Pray for these gifts. They outweigh all the rest. For without these things that your days may be blessed.
