A New Year – A New Beginning – Henri Nouwen Quote

January 5, 2013 By Jean Wise



A new beginning!


We must learn to live each day, each hour, yes, each minute as a new beginning, as a unique opportunity to make everything new.

Imagine that we could live each moment as a moment pregnant with new life.

Imagine that we could live each day as a day full of promises.

Imagine that we could walk through the new year always listening to a voice saying to us:

“I have a gift for you and can’t wait for you to see it! Imagine!



— Henri Nouwen

    I certainly agree Sandra and perhaps that is why this quote stood out for me. I love new beginnings and what a neat attitude to embrace each day.
