As you reflect upon the Holiday just past and the New Year coming you have one of two paths to take of thinking upon them. The Proverb says; "As a person thinks so it is." This is the truth, both Spiritually and physiologically. [Proverbs 23:7 NKJ]
Right now after the Holiday, you can find all the things wrong, such as the things you did not do, the things you didn't receive that you wanted, or you can search your heart to think upon the things that were good, loving, and beautiful. [Philippians 4:8-9]
Did You Know... No one makes the choices for you on what you choose to "think upon," but you?
Begin the New Year today, not on January 1st. Start to take every thought captive and "think upon the good," and watch your life and your New Year be transformed by the renewing of your mind into more than you could ask or imagine. [2 Corinthians 10:3-6, Romans 12:2]
Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies. [Philippians 4:8-9 The Message (MSG)]

Song: Mary, Did You Know?
Group: Pentatonix
Lyrics:
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
