Family Traditions

I've always read about the importance of having family traditions so that children will grow up with a strong sense of belonging and identity, as well as precious memories that they will carry with them throughout life. I've read about things people do and have tried to replicate them, but nothing beats creating the Chee's very own family traditions.

Christen has started the few rituals that we do every night. One night, after Daddy read the Bible, Christen said, " Let's hold hands to pray." We did it that night, and have been doing it after Bible story time every night. She started another one tonight. After we prayed tonight, she said, " Let's stand up and hug." So we all took turns to hug one another and to say we love one another. Christen specifically told Mommy and Daddy to hug too. After we've done our rounds, she said, " Let's do it the 2nd time." So we hugged and kissed again. We all felt so loved, it was so wonderful!God really reveals His love in tangible ways.
