In this article from The Gospel Coalition, Justin Whitmel Earley, encourages families to habits, not resolutions. "Resolutions feel great," he says...."When you declare that you will quit hitting snooze, lose 20 pounds this year, and read the whole Bible in a year, there is a momentary elation at the thought of your brand-new self. The problem is, that’s all there is: a dream without a plan....The longing to change is built into our spiritual DNA. Resolutions, though, don’t honor the way that change usually happens—through small, incremental, growth in community. What we need is habits," or more intentional normals.
I hope this article helps you think about your normals and in turn, those normals become more purposeful habits. "The habits of the household," he says, "are the engine of a family’s spiritual formation....Your habits won’t change God’s love for you, but God’s love for you should change your habits."
