Show Nite!

We have lots to share with you tonight!

But first and foremost, our encouraging verse of the week!

Galatians 6:9 (New International Version)
New International Version

9Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.


Thanks for the encouragement Ang and Kel!

A super shout out to Heather at Generations Adoptions! Thanks for being on the show!

How to deal with the Holidays:

Prepare ahead of time, if hot button issues frequently arise, create ways to diffuse situations and think ahead of potential reactions to help maintain a relaxing, thankful environment.

The day will run more smoothly if you prepare ahead of time. Make sure that there is plenty of food and plenty of activities throughout the home.

Let the kids be a great distraction!

Don't rely on conversation and television, provide games and a football and see what happens!

Set clear boundaries, let people know what you expect.

On that note, expect little. People can't change just to fit your mold, laugh off personality issues and only make an issue if something needs to be addressed.

If there is a person who is somewhat of an outsider, give them a special role like giving the blessing or toast to help them to feel included.
