This year Bret and I did something we haven't done in several years. We scheduled a "date" (no kids) and went to Borders Bookstore together. We found some comfy chairs, bought some expensive coffee, and took out the laptop and some clipboards. Then we proceeded to brainstorm about our goals for the next five years. We thought about house projects and repairs which may come up, we thought about trips we'd like to take, and we thought about our goals for the kids (in five years they'll be 11 and 15!). It was an interesting conversation. Some things we had both thought about and hoped to accomplish, and some things one of us hadn't thought about at all. We are spending some time praying about our ideas and waiting for guidance.
It was a fun way to welcome the new year and it was good to spend some time dedicated to this topic. Otherwise we seem to find ourselves caught up in the daily chores and the kids' needs and never get a chance to think about future goals, let alone discuss them with each other!
I challenge you (if you haven't done it yet) to give this a try...
