Day 10: My Kids Are So Cool, I Shared Them...
Okay, I know this is 30 Days of Family...and just as I suspected, we fell behind a little and had to change plans. The Foxy Mr and I left town for a day before the sun came up and didn't come home until late. I can't tell you what we were up to because it involves a family Christmas gift and I intend to keep it a secret until the right time. SO, I "shared" my kids with their aunt and uncle. :) Sharing is Biblical, right? I did call them a time or two so technically, no family interaction was lost. #human.
Day 11: Birthdays Everywhere!
There are 4 family birthdays within one week. Three of us live in town. We'll host a family birthday get together and enjoy the company of our family. No TV, no ipods, no video games. Just all of us gathered around the table to eat, laugh, eat, exchange gifts, and eat.Day 12: Christmas Carol Charades
Kid 2 is in a vocal music program tonight. We will all go together and then come home to a late dinner. After dinner, our family activity will be Christmas Carol Charades to keep the musical spirit going. Put 10-12 song titles in a bowl. The "actor" has 2 minutes to act out the song title. If it is guessed accurately, the "guessor" gets 3 points and the "actor" gets 5. We'll play 2-3 rounds as long as the attitudes are still good...
Spiritual application: Think about acting... It's pretending to be someone you're not. Can you think of a situation in which you 'act' like a follower of Christ but on the inside you know it's just a game you're playing? How can we be real so that others see the light of Christ in us instead of a facade?
