Family Connection, More Than Words
Posted by Phil
As you continue to connect with your kids by talking with them and asking them questions, try to connect with them in a different way…
Another way is to be involved in a project as a family. Here are some suggestions:
Volunteer at a food bank or homeless shelter. Contact the organization in advance as many require appointments.
In many communities, families of children who receive free or reduced lunches during the school year struggle during the summer. Find out if there is a way your family can minister to these families during the summer months.
Giving Jar – Put an empty jar in a prominent place in your house and let your kids help decide in advance what organization will be the recipient of the money. As you add loose change to the jar talk about needs of people and pray not only about how you, as a family, can meet those needs but for the people receiving help.
