The New Year is fast approaching and thoughts of gratitude fill each mind. Family, friends, and neighbors all join in the celebration of a new beginning while conversations flow of days past and gone. We reminisce about happy, newborn additions as well as remembering those whose life has now come full circle to the grave. “Precious memories, how they linger, how they ever flood my soul.”
Self-examination. Realizing imperfections. Setting resolutions. Renewed zeal for good. Relationships, once strained, become improved. Thoughts, once sour, become sweetened with the honey of a New Year. It’s a jumpstart everyone enjoys, and its arrival has been eagerly expected for the last twelve months.
Paul says, “Be careful how you walk…making the most of your time.” (Eph. 5:15-16) Lord willing, we’ll be passing over the threshold of a New Year in a few days. Be sure to make the most of it.
