joy in the Mornings

Tonight is Family Reading Night and while I’m a bit late in posting, I want to encourage everyone to celebrate - even if you don’t do it tonight!

Pick a night - once a year, once a season, once a month, once a week - whatever and make it Family Reading Night at your home.

Simply turn off the television, the computer, the video games and everybody curl up with a good book - or something to read. If you have kids, choose a few books to read together. Maybe start reading a children’s chapter book out loud.

Perhaps a Family Reading Night will start a tradition in your family of connecting with each other. If you don’t want to read together, then play some games together. Look through photo albums together. Cook together. Just make sure the TV and all other electronic distractions are put away for the night - trust me, you’ll survive (and so will everybody else!).
