I'm super excited and also grateful to God Almighty for seeing me and my family through 2022 in sound health and peace of mind. Been alive to see 2023 is neither by my power nor by my might but by the grace of God.
Crossing over to another year is a thing of joy and I own all adoration to God for been benevolent towards me and my loved ones because we aren't better than those that are dead or those on the sick beds.
On the last day of year 2022, myself and loved ones attended crossover night at the Church. This means, we ushered in the first day of 2023 at the Church with other congregants, when it was 12am of 1st January 2023 we all shout "Happy New Year", hugged one another, danced and sang praises unto the Lord for the privilege to see another year. After that, we pray and decree whatsoever we want in the new year, then a thanksgiving service was held to appreciate God for what He has done and what He will still do in the cause of the year.
It was an awesome service which I look forward to attend every year. I got home around 2am so exhausted and as well excited, I just went straight to bed, I couldn't even freshen up at all. When I woke up at dawn, that was when I started sending out my new year wishes via chats and video calls to my friends, colleagues and loved ones. After that, I bath and dressed up.
How I Celebrated The First Day Of 2023
On a norms for me, I don't go on outings during celebration days like on Christmas and new year days because everywhere will be jam packed with large numbers of people and I don't have strength to struggle at all. So few days to the new year, we would have stocked the house with necessary needs like beverages, cooking ingredients and the likes so as not to be stranded when needed.
However, I do go out to have fun like two or three days after the new year day. So my outing has been scheduled to this coming weekend.
At that time, gardens, shopping malls and restaurants will be less congested and people will be preparing to resume back to work.
Therefore, I celebrated the new year's day at home with my siblings and parents. We had so much fun at home eating, gisting, playing games and one of the most interesting of the games we played was spelling our names and various words from the rare, it was interesting and as well challenging. Then we watched a movie at night, after the movie we all retired to our various rooms and I resumed back chatting with my friends, I chatted till I slept off.
My first day of the year went well, I was at home all through and I had fun with my family.
