We have begun a new teaching series at Lawson Baptist entitled New Life, New Year. I know many people make resolutions at the beginning of a new year. Or, maybe you are like me and prefer to set goals. One of my goals is to be more frequent with this medium to encourage and inform others.
With that in mind, I want to pass along some goals that I came across several years ago that are still very pertinent today. By engaging in these suggestions, your family life is sure to get stronger.
*Eat dinner as a family for seven days in a row.
*Give each family member a hug for twenty-one days in a row (that's how long the experts say it takes to develop a habit).
*Pray for your spouse and children every day.
*Take a walk as a family.
*Encourage each child to submit to you his most perplexing question, and promise him that you'll either answer it or discuss it with him.
*Ask you children each day what they did at school (what they learned, who they ate lunch with, etc.).
*Call your spouse from work just to see how they are doing.
*Compile a family tree and teach your children the history of their ancestors.
*Spend an evening going through old pictures from family vacations.
*Place with your will a letter to each family member telling why you were glad you got to share life with them.
*Give regularly and faithfully to your church, not only money but time.
*If your car has a Christian bumper sticker on it - drive like it!
