Ideas to Help You Get Started

Birthday Week

Psalm 139:14 says that we are "...fearfully and wonderfully made", so we believe that birthdays are a time to celebrate the physical life God has given us. That's why we have Birthday Week in our home! After all, you didn't just suddenly appear as a baby - you were already nine months old when you were born.

A month prior to each of our birthdays, we ask the soon-to-be celebrant to fill out one of these. It's a fun activity that invites them to dream a little; it also give the rest of us an opportunity to see what's on their heart.

Family Movie Night

We're big fans of old movies and try to have a family movie night at least once a week. As part of it, we'll have a picnic dinner in the living room — nothing expensive or fancy, maybe just a frozen pizza or make-your-own subs.

A family movie night is a great way to wind down the week and do something together.

Start with one of these movies.
