Hello steemchurch parishioners and welcome once again to a topic I tag "5 Simple & Non Time Consuming Ways To Bring The Family Together". This has however become.very necessary because of the way and manner I have seen several homes today. There is nothing like bonding at all and if there is , it will be like a very weak intermolecular bond like "Vanderwaals forces". That's on a lighter note though.
Whether we like it or not, family is important and the way I see it, it is almost the bedrock of everything about anyone. By that I mean, who raised you and how you grew up as well as the environment you were brought up have a way of influencing you.
One very important thing about family is that you don't get to choose your family. The family you find yourself is God's plan. Yea strictly God's plan. Our families are gifts to us from God and that's one of the reasons why you need to take family seriously.
The way I envisage family, it is just like a very gigantic tree having extremely numerous branches. Yea it is possible of course we grow in very many different directions but we all have just one root. Yea , you could see family as as freedom as it is about the only thing that a man who considers himself free can make by himself for his own good.
What matters most about family is happiness and not necessarily how big the family is. Family is absolutely where anyone's life begins and where the show of love never ceases. Most times the only thing we can hold on to is the love your family has shown to you which in turn makes you show undying loyalty to them. Well we have talked much about family but if you want to know more, do visit @SirKnight's blog and follow his family series.
Without further ado, let's head quickly to the topic "5 Simple & Non Time Consuming Ways To Bring The Family Together".
One of the first easy ways to bring the family closer together is by sending messages across to them in very interesting ways. You can ensure you send your siblings emails regularly just for them to know that you haven't forgotten them. Yea , sometimes , you may be leaving for work very early in the morning and don't want to disturb your children and wife . You can just on that occasion write a short message with a "I love you" on it. These little things have a way of building trust and strenghtening bonds in the family.
Secondly, you can also take advantage of dinner time. The truth remains that your schedule might very tight working 24 hours a day. The truth of the matter is that your children may understand all you are doing for and the efforts you are putting in is for family to be happy but trust me they will grow up without really feeling your love. So why not find out time to sit at a family dinner and discuss during that period. It has a good way of strengthening family bonds and bringing the family together.
Thirdly, another very easy way to strengthen family bond is by finding time to be in the kitchen together. Like for example my dad is a very busy man and although, he jumps at any opportunity to be with his family , he loves cooking. So whenever he is around , he is taking lead in the kitchen while we are all there with mum to assist him. Trust me it very interesting experience to see your parents in that condition. You could take advantage and make some fries and bake some cakes just for the family consumption. You won't regret it , trust me.
Fourthly, another very important simple way of building and strenghtening family bond is by learning to never let your family down. Once your family sees your loyalty and the way you support them, trust me, they can go any lenght to help each other out. For the records supporting your family in every way you can is a good way of building family bonds.
Lastly, if you want to build a strong, loyal and supportive family , learn to listen to everybody no matter how foolish they may sound in your perspective. Learn to not rebuke someone's idea where everybody is in a very harsh tone. Learn to make them trust you and tell you all thats happening in their lives by simply listening to them. Always learn to advice your family member without raising your voice above the roof. Let them feel loved and they will exhibit love.
That's the much I can take on the the topic ***"5 Simple & Non Time Consuming Ways To Bring The Family Together".
