We try to sit down as a family to dinner every night. We do this to stay in touch. The kids love to pray so they take turns.
We have started a new tradition for our family. While we eat we share our day. We first list the worst part of our day. We go into detail on how we were wronged.
Then we talk about the best part of our day.
Lastly we each share how something that we thought was bad turned out to be good.
The point of this is to keep us sharing our lives. It is also to teach the children that all bad things have a good side. There is always a lesson to be learned.
We share our joys and pains as a family not as individuals. The kids won't let us miss a day. They can't wait for this time at dinner.
I pray this is a tradition that lasts.
