Can you think of a time when you were excited to go to a family reunion. Eager to wake up that day and get dressed nicely to greet family you haven't seen in a while. Everyone smiles as bright as a shooting star. Smells of barbecue fill the air. The laughter of kids heard in the background as parents introduce them. Some family members you haven't seen in a while. On another note others you met for the first time. Seeing who you get your high check bones from and that shiny forehead. Feeling like you have found someone to relate to. Family is very special. It's a union to belong. God is Center of families and he is pleased when we reunite with our loved ones.
Family Reniouns (reunite)
2. Create traditions (memories)
3. Celebrate Birthdays (life)
At Family Reniouns families usually reunite every year. Some family members come from other parts of the world. Others are local and see each other quite often. We can all lend a hand and make the world a better place by embracing one another. Admiring yourself and your family is important for growth. You child will see your good ways and follow them. They will feel loved unconditionally.
Each family member has a unique title. Some responsibility less than others. Like cousins are there to protect each other when the grown ups aren't around. An aunt may bring you back a souvenir from a vacation. The most important family members are moms and dads. The title itself holds authority. It gives entitlement what is rightly there's. Children look to their parents to learn about who they are. We are their number one teacher. Mom and dad role seems to be the hardest. This is because most of their time is spent being a vessel for the child. An example and a role model. It's true that whatever you instill in your child will reek benefits in due season.
It is very important to practice what you preach. Kids absorb information like a sponge. You get to decide what they learn and what they need to survive. If you teach them about christ they will not bring you to shame. It says in the Bible suffered little children come unto me. I will give you rest. God is the center of family. He blesses us for our good examples. He provides in every area when you put him first.
Lets not forget grandparents
Grandmothers get to spoil the kiddos rotten and send them back home to mom and dad. But she also instill wisdom into the parent and grandchild. She is the glue that hold the parent together. She had to do it so you can do it for your child. Grandfather's pass down skills and lead the pact. His place in the tree of life is steadfast. He is a role model and a pillar in his community and for his family. Siblings come together to lend a helping hand to the parent and each other.
Creating traditions with your child is a memorable experience. You look forward to your all time favorite meal, place to visit, hobby, events, whatever tradition you start make it a long-lasting one. Traditions are meant to be passed down from generation to generation. I hope my children will follow my traditions. I look forward to strolling down memory lane every now and then.
Birthdays are more special when family is around. Meeting milestones is growth. Healthy growth needed. When you spend time with family you know what each other like. Which is great for when birthdays are celebrated everyone is happy. It's a win when you have a family to call your own.
He gives children as a gift (Psalm 127:3). And through Jesus Christ, God makes a way for all of us to be part of his eternal family (1 John 3:1)
