A New Year's Bridge
Posted: January 2, 2026
Inspiration from a wooden bridge in Lucerne…
A new year is a bridge to spring
where icefloes melt and robins sing.
It is what links darkness to light
and makes God’s presence known.
A new year is a bridge to hope
providing us the means to cope
when life is drab and days are short
and challenges abound.
A new year is a bridge to peace
that models how our conflicts cease
when we admit our neediness
and trust another’s gift.
A new year is a bridge to love
as we take note of One above
who left His home to come to earth
to give us what we lacked.
