Friday's Grand Connection Fun
For years, Pops and I have made a list of our wishes, dreams, and prayer requests for the New Year. We put the list in an envelope marked “read December 31, _____” and pack the envelope away with the Christmas ornaments.
On New Year’s Eve of the following year, we read whatever we wrote. It’s always amazing to see ways that God answered various things, and ways that He said to us, No, or Wait.
We grandparents could encourage older grandchildren to begin this tradition. Then on December 31, 2014, we could call or e-mail the grandchildren, to see how God answered their “wish list" and to share how He answered ours.
Happy New Year,
Mary

I think I did this same thing with a "writing friend" when I began pursuing freelance writing. I wish I could find what I wrote down that day! Blessings for the new year!
Happy New Year to you, too, Karen!
