Family Time Training

This is a great reminder of the benefit and importance of a mentor for our children. We need to pray for these people in their life, and seek out opportunities to grow these relationships.

Now is a good time to grab some table entertainment for your littles while everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving meal. Little ones always seem to finish first. Have some things they haven't played with before ready for when they are done and you are not!

Another great quote from Frank's book recommendation this month. "Raising Wise Children: Handing Down the Story of Wisdom" By Mark Matlock

This weekend would be a great time to do the November Featured Favorite Activity together, if you haven't done it already. "Sabbath Habits" is a good one for all of us to be reminded of, especially this time of year. Take time to slow down with God.

Parents and Grandparents, we have to be intentional not only about what our kids watch and hear, but about carving out the time for us to discuss and process what our kids are watching and hearing. What stories are you telling your kids?

As we focus on a heart of gratitude this month, take the time to prepare your family for meaningful focus next month. The very first Sunday of Advent is November 27, this year; don't let it take you by surprise. Purchase your family Advent guide now: ed.gr/ec3qv
