New Year Reset – for All

By Michael Griego on December 31, 2025 • ( 0 )

And now it’s time for New Year’s – a fun celebration and then the reality of a great opportunity for a fresh new start. Here are some thoughts and viewpoints to help make this the best year ever.

So another year ends – this time midweek so we have more time to prepare and reset for another year’s launch.

See it as that. A reset time – that lull between the Christmas hustle and the celebration of a new year start. This time can be fun and relaxing with family and friends, while also bringing some anxiety and uncertainty about the future.

But it’s New Year’s time. Happy New Year! So enjoy the celebration, and then, with additional time to reflect, consider things that need to change, start anew, recalibrate or redirect.

With the opportunity of a fresh new year before us, here are a varied collection of New Year thoughts and Biblical Viewpoints to read and consider the applications for your own life as you sit before a warming fire or take in a football game or parade.

May your heart, mind, soul, and spirit be warmed, stirred, and motivated to have the best year of your life.

Happy New Year!
