Hmm... Wouldn't Melkite be Arabic, I think? Let's see here...

العديد من السنوات الجيدة.

Just sad Google Translate doesn't do Phonetic of Arabic, though. Oh well, I tried. I'll just listen to it carefully, and see what the transliteration is.

O God,
our times are in your hand:
Look with favor,
we pray,
on you servant Neil as he begins another year.
Grantthat he may grow in wisdom and grace,
and strengthen his trust in your goodness
all the days of his life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
AMEN.

Thank you all so much for your kind prayers. Just over fighting a 2 week long cold, which itself wasn't anywhere near as aggravating as the fact that the cold meds, rather than knocking me out, would keep me wide awake, with sleep arriving at the time I'd normally be looking to waken. Finally over it all now; no doubt helped along by the prayers of all of you.

Many years,

Neil
