Thinking About the Year Ahead • Jan. 10, 2008
Every year we spend New Year's Eve with our closest friends and their seven children, who are like cousins to our seven. It has been so exciting to see them all grow and change over the years.
This year the dads posed a sheet of questions for us all to ponder. We filled in answers and won't see them again until next year. Personally, I like these types of questions as they cause me to examine what I have really valued over the year and give me a little window into my kids' hearts as well. We talk all the time about where we each are in our relationships with God and one another, but sometimes putting it down on paper helps us to recognize where improvements need to be made or in which areas we can rejoice in God's grace, redemptive work, and faithfulness.
The little ones were asleep by the time we worked on these, but everyone 10 and up participated:
1. How has your character improved since last year?
2. What main sin do you want to conquer in 2008? (Be specific)
3. How will you enjoy God more in 2008?
4. Which one family relationship do you want to improve in 2008?
5. Where are you lacking self-control?
6. How will you serve our church family this next year?
7. How do you know that you are a Christian?
