When I read verse 20-21 (If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something t drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.) I asked them what this meant to them. Ben made a quick assessment and said, "If I'm mean to someone else and they're nice to me, my head will get hot!" Much laughter followed, along with a great opportunity to talk about how we should treat others in our family, community and beyond. Being a dad is so much fun! Barbie and Ken at Church?

Register Here for an appointment Family Christmas Traditions Guys, many of you who have participated in The Quest for Authentic Manhood may remember Session 21: Twenty Five Ways to Be a Servant-Leader. I think this is one of the most compelling sessions in all of Men's Fraternity. Here are two of the items from the list of 25. A servant-leader initiates meaningful family traditions A servant-leader plans fun outings for the family on a regular basis. Gentlemen, the Christmas season is a great time for you to step up to real servant-leadership that will bless your family for many years. Here are a couple of ideas... Start a tradition of taking your children out to shop for mom. You may take them as individuals or in a group. But make this a memorable experience. Our kids enjoy going out to shop for Stacy! The boys get antsy and complain when we're looking at clothes but Hannah just loves it. Their reactions are even stronger when we go into a 'smelly' place like Bath and Body Works. The boys are gasping for air and Hannah basks in delight. When Stacy and her sisters were small, my father-in-law started the tradition of taking each daughter out individually for dinner and shopping. Stacy has already celebrated her 28th birthday several times, but each year she goes on a Christmas date with her dad. Our family always goes Christmas caroling. Typically with another family, or a small group. We share a couple of songs on the porches of friends and family and hand off a small bag of cookies. The recipients are blessed and we are blessed with wonderful memories. (We've even been known to wander around our neighborhood in July singing Beach Boys tunes. We call this Summer Caroling but that's a different story!) Perhaps you read the account of Christ's birth on Christmas Eve or bundle up and enjoy the Tacky Light Tour but the bottom line is this. Dad, be intentional and strategic in creating memories for your family. You don't have to be super creative or extravagant, just do it. By the way... make sure you use your traditions and activities to point your family toward Christ!

Processing Summer Bless the Lord, O my soul;, and forget not all his benefits... Psalm 103:2 Summer is about to come to an end. The season has been quite busy for our family. Stacy and I feel like we've been in a whirlwind for three months. We're ready to settle back into some of the routines of the school year. The kids have had a blast with all the things they've experienced but it's easy for them to just bump along waiting for the next exciting opportunity. They seldom take time to look back over their experiences and remember the friends, fun, excitement and delights of summer. They especially need help seeing how God has blessed us with opportunity, safety, friends and family. So, one of the things we plan to do with this final weekend is take some time with the kids to talk about the summer. Here are a couple of our strategies... I spent a lot of time with Tim on the mission trip to South Asia this summer. So Stacy plans to take Tim out for dinner and talk with him personally about his experiences. This will be a great mother/son activity. Both Stacy and Tim are looking forward to it. I plan to take Hannah on a Daddy date and talk with her about all the things she enjoyed over the summer. We'll also discuss some expectations for her as she heads off to school for the first time. (We'll make it fun by painting some pottery at All Fired Up.) We'll also spend some time with Ben and Zach individually to talk about their experiences. At some point during the weekend we'll talk about the summer as a family. You and/or your kids may think that these intentional discussions are a little hokey... but don't let that stop you. We are conditioned in our culture to just keep breezing by life looking for what's next. It's worthwhile to look back and remember what we experienced and how it impacted us. Men, lead your family to review the summer. Talk about experiences, lessons and reactions. Make sure you talk with them about their spiritual development. Did they grow closer to Christ over the summer? This conversation will produce a natural opportunity for you to talk about the future and set the stage for what they'll face as the school year kicks off! Famtime.com has an awesome family activity to help with this process. It's called Memory Stones. Use it to remind your children that God often instructed his followers to use stones as a way to remember what God did for them.
