New Beginnings

Today is New Year's Eve. Lots of people around the world will make resolutions of one kind or another. Everyone's looking for a fresh start. However, the Lamentations 3:22-23 says:
The faithful love of the Lord never ends![a]
    His mercies never cease.
23 Great is his faithfulness;
    his mercies begin afresh each morning.

So if the Bible says that God's mercies are new every morning, then why do we wait until January 1st every year for a new beginning? Every morning is a fresh start to begin anew.  May we remember to take each day as it comes, and start fresh everyday.
