FAMILY TOAST

On New Year's Eve we lift our glasses to honor our friends and bless our past and future. Sit down with your family prior to December 31st to discuss what you would like to include in your family toast at midnight. Give a piece of paper to each person and direct them to write down three people or events that have made the past year worthwhile. This can include a memorial for someone who has passed away, the blessing of a new family member or simply a few words in appreciation of good health and general well-being. Take your family blessing and have it framed each year as a keepsake. As you pass by it on the wall, you will always remember how important it is to have your family and friends.
