--Alfred Tennyson.
Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close.
--John Ruskin.
The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.
--Romans 13. 12.
My Father, as I look to the past days, I feel much of my happiness and much of my misery has come from my own choice. May I be more watchful of my standards and less wasteful of my time, and keep a poise in life that will leave a memory of well-spent days. For the year that has pa.s.sed and for its blessings I thank thee. Amen.
