A tradition in our family at this time of year is Hopes and Dreams. We sit around the breakfast table together and write down our personal Hopes and Dreams for the coming year. We also review Hopes and Dreams for the year gone by. We then thank God for His faithfulness and pray together for the coming year.
I am always pleasantly surprised at how keen the children are to maintain this tradition which is often taxing, moving, humbling and hilarious ("a pair of Ugg boots" was one!).
This weekend is a good time to reflect with thankfulness on the passing year and look forward to and make some plans for the next. New Years resolutions can often be broken by the end of January but a sobering time of reflection and planning may last longer.
You might also like to know that I am the live studio guest on BBC Radio on New Years Day 8.30-9.00am discussing the years highlights in the papers.
