I love New Year's Eve! This is a day that we sit
down as a family and talk about the past year and discuss the upcoming new
year. We talk about the many things God did in our lives and give him
praise. We talk about the challenges we faced and how we handled them. Did we
give them to God or try to handle them in our own strength? We talk about the
victories we experienced and who received the glory for it. We talk about our
mistakes and what we can learn from them. But most importantly, we pray
together and praise God for seeing us through another year, the good times and
the bad. We seek his face, together, in moving forward to another year in
hopes that we will grow closer to him, closer as a family, and honor him with
our hearts, lives, and service. Together we close the year that is now in
the past and commit this new year to him, to walk in his will no matter where
that leads and to be bold for the cause of Christ!
"Since this new way gives us such confidence,
we can be very bold."
2 Corinthians 3:12 (NLT)
"I will praise you every day; yes, I will
praise you forever."
Psalms 145:2 (NLT)
What about your family! What New Year's traditions
does your family have? I would love to hear them. Please share.........
