On this New Year’s Day, we reflect on the year just past and look hopefully to the year ahead. We encourage you to take time today to gather with your family and begin the year by reading the Bible and praying together, thanking God for the blessings of the past year and asking for His wisdom for the days ahead. Today is the perfect time to set family resolutions for 2025, such as increasing the number of times each week the entire family eats a meal together or reads the Bible together. These are simple but important activities that help strengthen family bonds!

Everyone loves a clean slate—and the first day of a new year gives us just that! Family resolutions are a wonderful way to ensure everyone is on the same page about their vision for the year. Take time today to hear from each member of your family about their personal goals and hopes for the future. Happy New Year from all of us at Wisconsin Family Council!
