Dear God,
as the new year comes around I thank you for a wonderful year spent with central three. I thank you for every moment we have spent together, every laugh we have shared and even every tear we have shed together. Thank you for the support I find in my cell members and the love they bring to me and bring out in me. Thank you that you are with us constantly and your love is unfailing.

Thank you for the talkative and chatty, the quiet and meek.

Thank you for the confident, thank you for the shy.

Thank you for the small, thank you for the big.

Thank you for the tall, thank you for the short. (yes!)

Thank you for the expressive, thank you for those who are quietly appreciative.

Thank you for the kind and the lovely.

Thank you for the hugely talented, but also thank you for those who have yet to discover where heir true talent lies.

Thank you for the discerning and the wise, but also for those who possess that childlike innocence.

Thank you for the leaders, and thank you for those who trust and follow.

Thank you God, for everyone who can call himself or herself a part of central three, because it is every unique member that forms the beautiful work that we are as a cell.

Even though I am going to miss every single one of them so, so much, God I thank you because I know my friends and loved ones are in your good hands, all the days of their lives.

Amen

"The Lord watches over you - the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm - he will watch over your life
The Lord will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore."

Psalms 121:5-8

God bless your new year!!
