Building Family Relationships- Kid's Edition

In previous weekly posts, we have suggested ideas of how to have some summer fun and build family relationships. Those ideas all came from adults. This week, we turn it around and take a look at those topics from the kids’ points of view.  In July, we held Vacation Bible School at St. Stephen’s with 28 children age 3 through 5^th. grade in attendance. The following question was posed to them: What do you like to do with your family in the summer time? The answers were not surprising, and they all involve fun, building relationships and creating priceless memories. Are any of these on your summer “To Do” list?

Camping

Swimming

Go to the beach

Visit cousins and grandparents

Go to Disneyworld

Go to Waldameer

Play water games with the hose

Fly kites

Go to the zoo

 

Lord, let me look at the world through the eyes of a child. Help me to give myself permission to have fun. Let me spend money as well as save it. Let me feast as well as fast. Help me to rediscover each day that you have crammed the earth with surprises. Let me use all of my senses to experience and enjoy the life you have given to me.
