I wanted to share with you one of our family traditions/routines:
When someone leaves our home (dad alone or dad and child, or mom or mom and child, even babysitters, other family), whoever is staying home, SINGS!
We hug, pray and sometimes, do an all hands in the middle and through them out to "Go God's Team!" Then, we stand out front and wave bye while singing:
This is the day, This is the day that the Lord has made that the Lord has made!
We will rejoice, we will rejoice and be glad in it and be glad in it!.
This is the day that the Lord has made
We will rejoice and be glad in it and be glad in it
This is the day, This is the day that the Lord has made (screaming and waving - running down the street!)
It is such a special thing we do together - our hearts are focused for the rest of the day that TODAY is GOD'S DAY - Let's REJOICE!
Try it - what a special way to start your day!
Do you have any special routines that you could share with our family?

Shari! I love this! I'm always looking for ways to be an "intentional and deliberate parent" This will certainly be one of those things your family remembers YEARS from now!
Umm...okay, I know how to spell your name...just can't type! :)
That is awesome Kim! I just told a friend of mine today about this and their family is going to start something! :O)
Thanks for reading!
