New Beginnings...New Year

I love new beginnings. New school year, new season, new house, new year. I love that we have the chance to begin afresh. We were talking about New Years resolutions at dinner last night. I was trying to explain that it is something that makes you a better person or a goal and not just a new toy you are wishing for. =) I think the kids were caught up on the idea that it is something you WANT for 2008.

I think it is important to have goals for the year. Something that is attainable, but that will stretch you. I said I want to open my home more and be more hospitable. I also want to learn to garden. I usually think for awhile before I come up with a goal...so I will have to let you know if I come up with something that I desire to work on.

In the mean time, enjoy the new beginning. Just like God's mercies that are new every morning.
