Ten Questions for 2010

Food for Thought on New Year's Eve

Whatever your plans for today or tonight, the beginning of a New Year invites us to reflect on the past and the future.

I posted these discussion-starting questions last year and decided to re-post them this year. You can use them for personal reflection or family discussion:

1. Did I grow closer to God in the past year? How will I grow closer to God this year?

2. What is one new thing I will pray for this year?

3. What would I consider my worst habit and what can I do to work on it in the coming year?

4. What is the one thing I will do in the coming year that will most benefit my family?

5. What is the most important decision I made last year or will make this year?

6. What new habit would I most like to adopt this year?

7. What is one new skill I would like to learn the coming year?

8. What was the most important book I read last year/want to read this year?

9. What are my talents and what will I do to better serve God and the Church with them in the coming year?

10. What is one thing that I regret in the past year and what can I do about it in the new year?

What questions might you add to this list?

How did I get surprised by God last year? Have I left room in my plans to be surprised next yr. ?

 

Great list!  We’re staying in on New Year’s Eve, and this will be great to work on.

 

We did these last year (2009) and I dug them out for us on Advent 1. We start our new year with the church calendar, so it was appropriate to do this for us the first Monday in Advent. It was great and I look forward to doing them again.
