Ten Questions for 2009
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, December 31, 2008 9:00 AM
Whether you plan to turn in early tonight or make a long night of it, the end of a year and the start of a new one provides an excellent opportunity for reflection.
I really enjoyed reading about some people’s traditions for New Year’s Eve in this week’s Coffee Talk.
My sister and her family are visiting us for a few days and we plan to bake some cookies and let the kids do their best to stay up until midnight.
On New Year’s Eve, we Beans usually take turns answering some basic questions about what our favorite parts of the last year and what we are most looking forward to in the coming year.
In case you are looking for some food for thought for your own family or gathering tonight, here are some questions to consider asking yourself:
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 would you add to the list?
