“Love in Motion”
The teachings of Jesus have 2 basic Big Ideas: Love God and Love Others. What better place to start showing love than in our homes. Here are some quick, simple things that you can add into your family’s daily routines that will put love in motion at your house!
Love in Motion:
- Make an effort to pray as a family each day – in the morning before work and school, after dinner or before bed.
- Make an acrostic of each family member’s name – each letter begins a word or phrase that describes an admirable characteristic of that family member. Post this on your refrigerator for all to see!
- Have a secret “I love you” signal such as 3 squeezes of the hand, touching the tip of your nose or maybe a V-sign with your fingers.
- Surprise someone in your family with breakfast in bed (moms especially love this!)
- Invest in a joke book and learn how to make each other laugh!
- Make a game of outdoing each other in the “I love you more than…” statements.
- Do a family member’s chores without being asked.
- Hug, Hug, Hug - you’re never too old (or cool) for a family hug!
- Haul out the family photo album and reminisce about good memories your family has made.
- Make some new family memories this week: Have a squirt gun fight, play a game of family Frisbee or have a bonfire and roast marshmallows.
Let’s put love in motion in our families! When our homes are filled with fun, laughter and love, our neighbors and friends will take notice – they may even ask you, “What makes your family so great?” Then you will have a chance to share with them why you Love God and Love Others!
