Strengthen The Family

Archive for August, 2010

All families teach their children.  We teach them about safety, manners, how to ride a bike, and sometimes how to read, along with a great many other things.

But how much do we teach them about our religious beliefs and our sacred books?  One way to do this is to create a “Scripture Wall”.  To do this select a wall somewhere in the house.  The wall should have space for a lot of pictures.

Then collect pictures that relate to stories from the scriptures, such as the picture of David and Goliath below.   You can get these from church magazines, from the internet, or from a religious store.

Mount the pictures on your scripture wall and put a short summary of what is portrayed under each picture.  Once you have several pictures on your scripture wall talk with your children about them.  They will start learning about your religious beliefs and you will have a stronger family.

This should work regardless of which church you belong to.

A family reunion  is a great way to strengthen families, as you meet seldom seen family members.

We recently attended a family reunion near Yellowstone Park.  It was fun visiting family that we haven’t seen for years.

Sometimes a misfortune can bring a family together.  Ours was a dance with a buffalo.  Or should I say a run in with a buffalo.  In short, we ran into a buffalo.

It happened after dark as we were driving through Lamar Valley.  Buffalo are dark animals and tend to absorb light, like head lights.  So they are hard to see.    We braked hard and almost got  stopped before hitting the buffalo, knocking it off its feet so that it fell onto the hood of our car and smasked our windshield. 

We thought we were going to have it in our laps, but instead it rolled off the car and walked away.   We were unhurt,  except for some whip lash.  The car was totaled.

We did nor swerve to avoid the buffalo, which was good.  More people die from swerving to avoid an animal then those that die from hitting an animal.  This is because swerving will take you off the road way, where you might fall off a drop off, hit another call online, hit something else and roll over, etc.

We were thankful to God that we were alive after running into a buffalo.  And we still enjoyed the reunion.
