I don't know what to do! I don't have the time!

Life is busier now that we have a baby added to our family this fall. I have less time and brain capacity to think up Family Time activities. God always provides me with something He wants our family to talk about one night a week - Monday for us. Here's a couple of quick resource I use:
  1. Sunday School material - I review what my children have been talking about on Sunday and we take another look at the art project they brought home. ( And again ask, what is this? -j/k)
  2. Workbooks - Christian bookstores have many different materials for you to use appropriate for any age group. (www.famtime.com has a great list too.)
  3. Children's Bible - Have your child pick a story from their Bible. They feel empowered to be a part of the planning process of family night.
  4. Music - Memory verses set to music or just the traditional songs are great to sing along as a family. (Take some time to explain the words or story in the song) Maybe have a night of just worship music to God!

Whatever comes to be, pray that God will guide you in planning Family Night - He's always full of ideas!
