Do something unique and special for your family today. Make them feel special and let them know that they are important to you.
Plan a surprise a trip to someplace special. It does not need to be expensive. A trip to the park or stopping for ice cream can be a great way to spend time together and show your love.
Let each person in your family pick something that they would like for a meal.
Leave a note saying why you think that person is special and thank them for something that they have done. Take it another step and each day for a week give a small gift that reminds you of them. Here are some ideas that you could do:
Sunday – Stick a smiley face on a note saying that you LOVE their smile.
Monday- Give a pencil and a note. On the note put “You are WRITE because…” and list the ways they do things right.
Tuesday – Leave a sweet treat and tell them how they are SWEET.
Wednesday – Put a note in a cup saying how they FILL your life with happiness.
Thursday – On a candle or flashlight stick a note with the ways they LIGHT up your day.
Friday – Set an eraser on a note telling how they ERASE sadness by___.
Saturday – Give them a ball saying how you feel because they BOUNCED into your life.
Spend time playing with your children. Whether they are a preschooler, highschooler, or any age. Dress up, play a sport, or whatever they enjoy. Take pictures and be silly!
Have a family fun night. Pick a theme put out, add a few decorations, dress up, eat food, and play games all centered around that theme. It does not have to be elaborate. Keep it simple and fun. If you have a beach theme you could bring out some beach balls, dress in your swimsuits to eat kabobs, and play some beach ball volleyball.
Most importantly pray for your family!!!
Let your family know today that they are special to you and that God made them special. Deuteronomy 29:18 says “Lest there should among you man, or woman, or FAMILY, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the Lord our God.” Stay focused on how we are each made special and are important to God. He is our creator and loves us. He wants us to show love to our families so that they will see his love in us.
