A great way to keep God’s Word on our lips and in our thoughts is through Scripture memory. Memorizing Bible verses fills our mind with truth and builds our faith. Despite how important I know it is for spiritual growth, I’d been sporadic at best when it comes to this spiritual discipline but over the years I have found fun ways to make it fun for me and my kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's two fo them: Say the first word of the verse. Then take turns with your children, saying each of the words from the verse until you've said the whole thing. You can do this a handful of times reading the card and then try to do it from memory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Print the verse out on a piece of paper. Cut each word out and scramble the words on the table. Have your child unscramble them, putting them together like a puzzle in the correct order. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These cards are available as an instant download in my Etsy shop (Link in the profile.) #scripturememory #intentionalliving #scripturecards #kidsandfaith
For this week's #Fridayintroductions I'd like to introduce you to my husband @carlamici. He is the other half of The Family Culture Project podcast. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To help you get to know him I wanted to share 5 reasons why I am grateful for this man. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He does all of our laundry! The only wash I do is the occasional load of sheets and towels if I am feeling particularly motivated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Whether we are doing a home project, planning a trip, or shopping at Costco he thinks of things that would never occur to me. He thinks things through in a way that I don't even think I am capable of doing. It often saves us time and money. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He likes to save money when he can but he also likes to spend a bit extra on things that are worth it such special experiences when we travel, tailor-made clothes in quality fabrics that will last, and upgraded products that pay dividends in efficiency. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He is not scared of rejection. He always says, "You don’t get if you don't ask." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ He likes a clean house. More specifically, he likes to tidy up the house before we go somewhere so that when we get home after a long day running from sports field to sports field or after a full day of work, we can just relax together without worrying about what still needs to be done. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I share these things not to brag but to let you know that there are days when I have to choose to be grateful for them. In the past, I have found fault and in each of these areas and let him know. I have bitched and moaned and taken the way he does things as a personal offense. Thankfully we are getting better at forgiving and extending grace to one another. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Creating a culture of gratitude in your home is worth every ounce of humility it takes to consistently appreciate and embrace one another’s uniqueness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Not it’s your turn! Tell me someone in your family that you are grateful for and why. #marriage #familyculture #thefamilycultureproject #intentionalliving #gratitude #cultivatewhatmatters
The principles for building culture is the same whether you're in an organization or a family. You decided what you want to be known for, determine your values, turn those values into practices and they consistently make those practices a part of your everyday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are also principles that work in every season of parenting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My kids are 12,14, and 16. At every new stage, I say to myself, "This is the best age!" But there are also many times that I find myself saying, "Wow, this is the most challenging stage ever." Can you relate? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Just like values help us weather the ups and downs of life, these Sanity Saving Tips from this week's podcast guest @Andre agalbreath will help you weather the ups and downs of parenting. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite tip: What you pay attention to will grow. Ignore unwanted behavior and draw attention to and celebrate the things that you want to see more of. I'm in the process of making this a habit on our home. #thefamilycultureproject #familyculture #intentionalliving #parentingcoach #parentingtips
