Memasuki Tahun Baru Penuh Syukur

JELANG pergantian tahun, banyak yang menggunakan kesempatan untuk berpesta-ria, dan ada juga yang memilih berkumpul dengan keluarga. Mereka yang berkumpul bersama, umumnya berdoa bersama, mensyukuri karunia yang diberikanNYA selama ini, sambil memohon berkat dan perlindunganNYA untuk perjalanan di tahun yang baru.

John F. Kennedy mengingatkan kita:

“We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.”

Karena itu, pada kesempatan ini, saya dan keluarga ingin mengucapkan Terima Kasih kepada semua orang yang melalui tangan mereka, Tuhan memberikan kami berkat dan rahmatNYA. Kami juga memohon maaf atas salah kata dan tindak, sadar maupun tidak, selama perjalanan bersama di tahun lalu. Marilah kita saling mendoakan agar berkat Tuhan berlimpah turun atas kita di tahun yang baru ini, dan Damai sejahtera turun dan tinggal di Bumi tercinta ini.

Kata-kata Bijak, Sumber Inspirasi

Saya sertakan juga beberapa kutipan dari orang bijak, sebagai sumber inspirasi:

“Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” (Eckhart Tolle)

“When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.” (Maya Angelou)

“When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive- to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love-then make that day count!” (Steve Maraboli)

Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it.” (William Arthur Ward)

Dare to Be

When a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.

When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.

When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.

When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.

When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.

When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.

When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.

When times are tough, dare to be tougher.

When love hurts you, dare to love again.

When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.

When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.

When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.

When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.

When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.

When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.

Dare to be the best you can –

At all times, Dare to be !”
(Steve Maraboli)

Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending (Maria Robinson)

“And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that never were.”

(Rainer Maria Rilke)
