Our month of intentional family time continues. See the last two posts for other ideas...
Day 7: Show and Tell
Ask each family member to bring an object to the table that represents something for which they are thankful. So help me, if one of my kids brings the XBox downstairs they won't see the light of day until January! (Can you guess that I'm over the video game thing?!) Let others guess what the object represents. Then each person tells. It's better than everyone just 'saying' it. This requires more thought. I'm going to leave pictures of me conveniently scattered around the house in hopes that someone will bring my pic to the table... :)
Spiritual Application / Discussion: What are the good things for which we are thankful? Are there any things that are not so good to be thankful for? (problems, trials, etc.) How can we be thankful IN all things?
Day 8: Kid Pick: Grab Bag!
One of my boys is in charge of tonight's activity. He has a $20 budget. The only rule is that he must provide some short spiritual application or discussion question and it must involve all family members. (No leaving a brother home because he is annoying!) I have no idea what he is planning...
Day 9: Special Breakfast
If we are still tracking according to plan, my husband and I will be going out of town on this day. Our event will have to be an early one before the guys go to school. We'll enjoy a big family breakfast - something we don't do during the weekday since everyone gets up at different times and leaves early! I'm thinking French Toast Casserole might be on the menu that day.
Spiritual Application / Discussion: I'm just going to ask the boys how I can pray for them on this day. :)
Our fun will continue.
I wonder if by the time this post is published if I will still think this whole 30 Day thing was a good idea?...
