The weekend was ridiculasly busy, but all holiday and celebration oriented! Because of that, I didn’t have time to post all weekend, so I am catching up here, begining with:

Saturday, December 6, 2008: FAMILY

I am a part of the family of GOD. The people in my family are the people I live with and talk to every day.  They love me, keep me safe, help me learn, and take care of me.  I am part of a much bigger family too.  I am part of the family of GOD~all the people in the world.  Like me and my immediate family, they laugh and cry, work and play, celebrate holidays, and take care of their friends and loved ones.

We are all united in the love of GOD. I am happy to be a part of this wonderful family!

Family Activity, Make your own dough ornaments!

Things You’ll Need:

• 1 c. salt
• 4 c. all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 c. warm water
• Brushes
• Ribbons
• Watercolors
• Paints
• Varnish
• Groceries
• Cookie Cutters
• Drinking Straws
• Flour Sifters
• Rolling Pins
• Permanent Markers

Mix salt and flour together. Add water. Knead dough until smooth. The dough should be very stiff. Add more flour if it’s too sticky. Roll dough out and cut out ornaments with cookie cutters, or cut out your own figures and shapes by hand. Push a straw, pen or other thin object through ornament at top to make a hole for hanging. Bake ornaments for 1 hour in oven at low setting. Allow to cool. Decorate. You can paint ornaments with watercolors or other type of paint, or use colored markers. Be creative. Coat ornaments when dry with a clear protective coating. Put ornament hanger or ribbon through hole and hang.

I listen to my heart and mind to know what I should do. Write GOD a letter.

Monday, December 8, 2008: Be Kind

Be kind to everyone you meet today!

Teaching empathy, compassion and good manners is important! Even Spongebob Squarepants has an episode where he tries to teach a bad guy to be kind by returning a lost wallet and offering to carry heavy bags. Spongebob shouldn’t be teaching our children these very important lessons, we should. Especially around the holidays becasue even thought financially we are stressed, we still all feel a little lighter and are all a little nicer around this time.

I am a kind person when I do something nice for someone, like helping my parents set the table for dinner or helping to carry the groceries. When I am kind, others are kind to me.
