Thumbs up! What was good about the year? What am I grateful for? What have been the unexpected blessings? Index finger! Where was God at work in your work? Middle finger! What stands out? Is there anything that didn't seem significant at the time but seems more important now - and vice versa? Anything that increased my faith in other people, myself, or in God? Ring finger! Did I live up to my commitments? Have I become better or worse over 2020? How did I treat those closest to me? What could I do immediately to renew and strengthen those relationships? Little finger!
