As the moments of 2013 wind down and 2014 looms in the distance future, what do you anticipate happening in the New Year for you? For some, resolutions are made as a way of establishing goals or benchmarks. Still others write a plan with specificity in terms of times and deliverables. What do you do to shape your sense of anticipation for the New Year?
May I offer a few suggestions:
1. End the year and begin the year in prayer.
2. If you have not, begin writing a journal of your thoughts, deeds, and aspirations.
3. Promise yourself to and develop deeper spiritual disciplines
4. Within your family and friends tell your loves one that you love them and don't take them for granted
5. Within your community of faith increase your giving: time, talents and treasure
6. Exercise and eat healthy
7. Travel to places you have never been before
8. Take periodic walks through parks, nature trails, and county roads
9. Meet and develop a relationship with persons from a different ethnic group
10. Share in a worship experience of another faith tradition
HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR! ANTICIPATE GOD DOING GREAT THINGS IN YOUR LIFE!
