We call January 1^st "New Year's Day." Why?

Because it is the first calendar day of the year, of course. 

But does the calendar make it fully new, or can we look for more than just a paper measuring time and marking dates?

 Aware of the gift of time and the invitation to the aliveness God gives us, we remember the words: "See, I am doing something new! Now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19)

What is the aliveness and new thing to which we are called in 2021?
