A New Year’s Day First Nations Blessing

A poem of the First Nations (Native Indians)

 

May the Lord bless your sight:

that it will always be as clear as the full moon.

 

May the Lord bless your thoughts:

that they may be pure and fresh as ice on a lake.

 

May the Lord bless the work of your hands:

that it may be as fruitful as corn that ripens in the fields.

 

May the Lord bless your family:

that they may be as carefree as otters

and as industrious as bees.

 

May the Lord bless your days on earth:

that they may flow calmly as a river after the rapids.

 

May the Lord bless your tears:

that they may be soft as maple trees

when the birds return to their nests.

 

May the Lord bless your life and your death:

that you may spend your days

protected by His powerful and generous hands.

 

 

HAPPY, HEALTHY,  AND  HOLY  NEW  YEAR !
