So another year has come and gone!
I do not like the “let’s look back” stories that pop up this time of year. Lists of the best and worst of whatever year is passing. But we do have to remember to look back to learn and reflect and look forward to consider, hope and dream. So why not do so on January 1?
For me, I am too emotional at the holiday times of year. I get very expectant awaiting the coming of Christmas. I enjoy being with my family and taking a few extra moments during my week to slow down and just enjoy their company. I also get a little melancholy after Christmas is over. I do not do well evaluating honestly myself and where I’ve been and where I’m going at this time of year.
For me, the evaluation will be coming soon. For now, just remember the words of the devotion I just read. Psalm 90:12 says:
Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.
