The Magic of a Happy Home & Its Blessing

Family Fun
Okay, so for my viewers we loved carol of the bells but I didn't get to do my rendition. However, there is another song that rings true in the spirit of love and happiness and it is a Happy Home. I capitalized "Happy Home" on purpose because it is so important. When parents connect with their children in a healthy way its like magic. It really does create a special unity and bond for generations to come if the relationships are nurtured and maintained.

However, if a parent does not hear the heart of a child then there's such a discord that makes lack of harmony unavoidable. Now how do I know, well I have a sibling several years younger and I know what it's like to have discord in the home. Siblings argue and fight at times much to our parents chagrin. However, I have a lot of good memories with my sibling that we can share to this day. Guess what? We overcome discord by focusing on what we have in common, what we can agree on, traditions worth keeping, and values and passions worth preserving and maintaining. We want the same  blessing and success for my nephew. Thus several reasons for working toward happiness and making sure the family nucleus is strong. The same concepts and applications work for a lot of families and could hold true for yours as well.

The one key ingredient is that no one could destroy the bond. That holds true today. So I can just mention something that seemingly is unimportant to everyone else but is a moment of truth or laughter for us. It is part of the language of family culture we've preserved. These small but important tools of family communication are part of family survival- often "imparted " or learned throughout the years

Children are not always as mature as adults and we have to groom them to be so. We have to avoid provoking them so that they trust us. We have to communicate that you're life, your spirit and your soul is safe in my care and in this family. When you feel valued in your family, you treasure those feelings and the word family communicates a certain meaning and shared of importance in your life. I had that growing up and it's a vital to how I'll rear my children.


Love, laughter, bonding, and fun, is the magic of a Happy Home and the Blessing thereof. Even in distance, the long phone conversations and anticipation of seeing each other at the holidays or during the year is so important. Take heart and love into the summer and pray for "faith in standing" while the lessons are learned. If you're like me sometimes you have those Judy Blume Moments. Are you There God it's me... and we need to achieve some things in the family and I'm asking for you to show up quick, fast and in a hurry and give me grace to smile and laugh through it all.

                               
Yes, family life can be much like this water ride...splashy!
 But its worth in the end

Be protective of your children's lair if you will. Make sure that you're voice is the one they know represents love. My grandmother's favorite place of discussion was the kitchen table. We did a lot of talking about everything. It was the best thing ever. She was a fierce protector of our relationship and our family and I can't thank her enough. If that rings true for you then you know what I mean. If by chance such as fallen out of your grasp-it's not to late to start and make your family a happy home and a place of blessing and rest for your children.

The Day After Christmas

Christmas day was great. I didn't go to bed until the wee hours again and needless to say I was wrapping gifts at 4:30 that morning as the children rose ready to open their presents. It probably would be useless to most to continue wrapping when everyone would open them minutes after but I did so anyway. I like to do it and wrapping gifts is as much a part of the Christmas festivities as decorating the tree. And just as Christmas day was fun so was the day after.  We followed up Christmas dinner with a fish fry and a game of spades. It was great and me and my partner won the game. We had  great time laughing and kidding with each other. We listened to music and sang along. Nothing like those oldies but goodies. We all took part from the oldest to the youngest adding our voices to the music. To outsiders it may have seemed like no big deal but to me it was as much a part of loving each others as was the gift giving. I sat back and thought that's what ...

After Christmas Practical Suggestion

I'm really not an expert in this area but, after going over a few records for a family member, I quickly understand the importance of not just tossing your bank statements around and not viewing them. I saw where they were paying for subscriptions almost three times the normal amount. Having said that, many of you will get those bank statements detailing all the great gifts you have given. But you may want to double check them.  Make sure you haven't been billed twice for the same thing or billed for something you didn't purchase at all. With theft at an all time high, it's not unlikely for this to happen. Remember to keep tabs of your records. Lately I've been taking note of information regarding fraud and identity theft and it seems that the holiday season is a peak time for these unfortunate situations to take place. And familiarizing yourself with what steps to take (hopefully this won't happen) can ease the burden of a  di...
