Retirement marks the end of the honoree's service and the start of a new and important part of life focused on their own and their family's interests. Retirement is like a wedding or graduation - an important rite of passage. Life as the retiree knows it will change significantly - everything from daily routines to their own personal identify is transformed by retirement. Whether the retiree is easing out of the work-a-day by going part time or jumping whole hog into a life of leisure, this is a time to celebrate.
Story time benefits the entire family 1. Communication During your regular story time sessions, your child has an opportunity to ask and answer questions about the story. This can lead to parent-child conversations later on about the content of the story and provide opportunities for teaching moments. Listening As you read aloud, your child is developing listening skills. It’s an opportunity for your child to practice focusing and tuning out distractions, which are important skills as your toddler prepares for school. Memory When children listen to you read a story, they have to remember the characters and events in the tale to follow along and make sense of the plot line
Family who pray together stay together What is family worship? It isn't complex. It doesn't require a doctorate, ordination, or even an extended period of time. It is simply a gathering of those living under the same roof for a time of worship. This may be a single mother and her two children, two sisters living together, or mom, dad, and their eight children. Regardless of what the makeup of the home is, it is all the individuals of that home gathering together to read the Scriptures, pray, and sing to the living God. It doesn't have to be long, rigorous, or particularly profound. It can be as simple as ten minutes of reading the Scripture, praying a short prayer, and singing a good hymn. And yet these ten minutes of sowing seeds and offering worship have eternal benefits.
