“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 in the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.”
So, I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East”

In one of Jesus’ parables (teaching stories) he has a highly successful farmer asking what he should plan to do with all his wealth, his answer being this.
‘I will take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.’ Luke 12:19
In the same story God says to the farmer, ‘Fool, this night your life will be taken from you’.
As we plan for the New Year ahead, whose approach will we take? Think like the farmer in Jesus’ story, or follow the advice of Minnie Haskins?
