Many of us look to the New Year with a mixture of emotions. Sadness at things gone by, perhaps, concern for what may lie ahead, but many of us still look ahead to a new year with an almost childlike sense of excitement for all the, as yet, undiscovered possibilities the future holds during the next 12 months. "God specialises in things fresh and firsthand. His plans for you this year may outshine those of the past."
Here's to the New Year ahead of us and all things fresh!
IN THIS NEW YEAR IT IS UP TO YOU
If you think you are a winner, you will win. If you dare to step out, you will succeed. Believe in your heart, have a purpose to start and aim to help others in need. Thoughts of faith must replace every doubt, words of courage and you cannot fail. If you stumble and fall, rise and stand ten feet tall. You determine the course that you sail.

BALLYDUFF COMMUNITY TEXT ALERT - wish to thank everyone who has joined up so far. Forms are still available in the Post Office if you wish to join and help to keep our community safe.
In life we will realise there is a purpose for everyone we meet. Some will test us, some will use us and some will teach us. But the most important are the ones who bring out the best in us, respect us for who we are. Our purpose is to be one of these people.
SOME NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
I will give up complaining and be more grateful.
I will give up pessimism and be an optimist.
I will stop judging harshly and think kind thought.
I will give up worry and trust in Providence.
I will give up discouragement and be full of hope.
I will give up bitterness and turn to forgiveness.
I will give up anger and practice being patient.
I will up gossiping and control my tongue.
I will give up being gloomy and enjoy the beauty that is around me.
LAST WORD:Those who say something cannot be done - should not interrupt those who are doing it!!
