We started a new family project for the month of July. Each day before the Sun Sets - each person in our family is supposed to do an act of service. It can be service towards a family member, a neighbor or anything at all that helps another person. I'm so excited because the kids have jumped on this (with both feet). At first they didn't want to tell me the "service" they did, because "you're not suppose to brag," but I told them for this month they had to tell me at least one thing they did before the sun set each day. Now, the sun doesn't set until 9:30 so - we have ALL day!
At the end of the month, those that participate (everyone) get's to go out for the "Scoops of Service Celebration"...ice cream!!!
Betsy...that is a GREAT idea! I'm going to steal it if you don't mind:) I could see my kids really liking that idea...thanks!
ReplyDeleteJulie,
ReplyDeleteI don't mind at all. I get most of my ideas from others.
