with Food

One time last week we tried doing the Faith 5 around the kitchen table while we ate a snack.

It's amazing what kids highs and lows are. That day most of the high's were watching the tree man, climb our trees and cut down branches. The really cool ones were the dead branches which shattered upon hitting the ground.

Cardboard and Paperbags

Another way my kids discovered to retell the Bible story for the week, is to use cardboard and paperbags. I walked in and they were walking around with paperbags on their heads running into each other. "What's going on?" I asked. They replied, "We're pretenting that we're blind, like Saul was." :-)

It's so cool! Pass it on.

Our kids are in the FIRST Lego League. Their team meets at our house.
One of the things the kids on the team do before they go home is share their highs and lows of the meeting/activities of that night.

A visiting coach from another team can to help us out one night and he saw that and was very impressed. He really liked that concept. After the meeting I gave him my copy of the Home Journal and showed him where the idea came from, noting that at Lego League we just do the Highs and Lows part of the Faith 5.

It is exciting and fun to share the Faith 5 concepts with others.

I miss it

On Sundays, we don't have to do the Faith 5 because the kids do it at Underground on Sunday mornings. But last night, I (the parent) missed it. If I wasn't so exhausted that night I would have done the Faith 5.

It's cool to have a faith building family tool that is so good that you miss it.
