Valentine's Family Night 2/12

Last night we had family night with a point. We talked about unselfish love in celebration of Valentine's Day. First we had them break into pairs and they had to mirror their partners. This was to show them how they need to be focusing on the other person.

Next we sat in the dining room to eat our dinner and instead of feeding ourselves we had to feed each other. Again we have to focus on each other.

We ended our time by reading I Cor. 13 together.

At the end of the evening we announced what we will be doing next Sunday so they have the week to prepare. We will have an evening enjoying our own version of the Olympics. This week they have to pick a country and come Sunday evening with a handmade flag and costume from their country. We will start with the opening ceremonies, participate in several competitions and then they will receive their medals. They are excited!

I forgot to add that we got the idea for this family night from a Homebuilders book on family nights.

We are going to have to come up with the games for the Olympics night so we need to get working on it.
