A Time For Reflection

I love this time of year because it is a time for reflection and reinvigoration. Reflecting on the past year and becoming reinvigorated for the new year! Usually, I just try to slow down and listen. What is God speaking to me about me? What is God speaking to me about my family? What is God speaking about ministry and serving? What is God speaking about the mission of the Church? I would be interested to know how some of you utilize and maximize this time of year. Perhaps, it might help me in preparation for 2009.
