It IS difficult and some weeks we skip doing it and when we do, I notice a huge difference in our family. I, too, hope it will pay dividends later for my children. In other words, it is kind of like insurance…seriously! 😀

What you are doing in your family is wonderful! Having dinner together is another key ingredient to a happy & unified family. And, yes, it is the perfect teaching opportunity! Once again your words of kindness have brought happiness to my day! I appreciate it so much.

The ultimate key to success in family, marriage, and spiritual life period. Now how to train a procrastinator to be intentional is, well let’s say, a challenge. Proud of your consitency in your home and pray it pays in dividends later in life for your children.

Your Family Night, is SO WONDERFUL!! I love your honesty….with the little frustrations that can come with kids, when we as adults are so serious about the matter. But what I loved as much, was your follow-up: “I testify that having consistent weekly family night will bring unity into your home. It shows your family you love them.” These things family experiences & testaments of love and family unity, are what they will carry with them, as part of who they are, and what they value in life. It will in turn likely be carried into their own families they create.
We don’t really have a dedicated family night right now. But we do begin every meal with prayer together, and our meal conversations often consist of much of what your family night discussions do. Life situations…lessons….values….and our faith. Our kids also begin each school day, with Scripture & discussion.
That video?? WOW….I am sharing that with my kids!! What special boys. Both of them. THANK YOU for sharing, and linking all of this up, Shan!! Gosh, I like you!!
