Family Night is in the Making

So just a quick post ... Tonight we start a family tradition ... Fun Family Evening. We hope to schedule it ever Monday and use it as a time to reconnect and bond with one another. My hope is that we will all gain a greater appreciation for one another and thus treat one another with more respect. So tonights plan ....

We will start with a song of praise to God (Miss M)
Then we will have a time for scripture (I have chosen Matthew 5 - the Beatitudes)
Then a little lesson on the beatitudes
Lastly we will have a treat and activity (Ethan decided on a movie -the game plan- while piled on my bed, the movie will be followed by a movie review discussion)
ZC and I made treats for the movie (sugar cookies - will share the recipe later tonight or tomorrow)


seems so much more simple than I have always tried to make things. Thanks to my some wonderful encouragers on the photographer's forum that I belong to for encouraging me to do this.

So thats it, if you read this on Monday night whisper a quick prayer that God would honor this time we have set aside for him and for each other.

Signing out until the kids are asleep .... if I dont fall asleep first!

Peace and Blessings -
SB
