Ringing in the New Year

December 31, 2025 | 35 comments

Happy New-year! Happy New-year!  It is the day of hope and a fresh beginning.  Old debts shall be forgiven; old feuds forgotten; old friendships revived.  To-day shall be better than yesterday.  The good vows shall be kept.  A blessing shall be wrung from the fleet angel Opportunity.  There shall be more patience, more courage, more faith; the dream shall become life; today shall wear the glamour of tomorrow.  Ring out the old, ring in the new! 

~ George William Curtis (1824–1892)

May your New Year celebrations leave the “old year” of material sense behind and enter the “new year” of spiritual sense which keeps you moving in a progressive direction.

  1. Beautiful Evan, thank you!
    Wishing everyone a blessed and peace-full New Year.

    “And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year:

    ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’

    And he replied:

    ‘Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.’’
    Minnie Haskins

    1. Thank you Shelagh. Just perfect for giving a sense of comfort and trust going forward with God. I found a link to the full text of the poem, titled The Gate of the Year by Minnie Haskins. I read that it was the favorite poem of Queen Elizabeth and it became famous when her father King George VI quoted it in his 1939 Christmas broadcast to the British Empire.

    2. My British mother had this framed and hanging by her nightstand. I inherited it and it means so much to me EVERY day.

    3. I have shared that poem in the past on this site and am glad you have shared it too Shelagh. My Dad often quoted it at our first testimony meeting of the new year, so it always makes me think of him. Linda. X

  2. Thank you Evan for all the uplifting inspiration throughout the year and wishing you and yours refreshed beginnings for 2026

  3. What lovely thoughts to begin a New Year….
    Everywhere one sees the urgency to make new resolutions….of course seeing the spiritual sense of things brings the best outcome. I thought of these…

    Someone brings you a cup of tea…that’s Love
    Given a seat on the bus…thats Love
    Walk in a beautiful park….that’s the atmosphere of guess what..Love
    Problem solved…..that’s the harmony of Love
    In fact that’s all there is…Gods Love for man and the universe.

    Thank you so much for all the love and spiritual uplift you bring to us Evan…
    Wishing you and your family, plus everyone who comes to share SV, then not forgetting all mankind
    A Happy New Year…..never forgetting we are all the loved of Love❣️
