Happy Monday! April is flying by so put on your party clothes and let’s celebrate.
This week is my dad’s eightieth birthday. I am sad because we will not be able to get together. We can still celebrate. What are you celebrating this week?
Summer birthdays are the best. We have several Summer birthdays in our family. I think birthdays should be celebrated all week!
This week I am sharing some great celebration activities. You don’t have to have a birthday to celebrate. You can celebrate anything such as life, good health, or time together.
Put on your party clothes and let’s celebrate!
Dance Parties – Put on your party clothes and let’s dance. Let the kids pick out the playlist, move the furniture to clear some space, and then have fun. This is a great way to get some exercise for the kids as well as for the adults.
Karaoke Celebration – For this one, you will need a microphone or even a pretend microphone, music, and the lyrics. Let the sings have fun singing their favorite songs.
Build a Fort – Kids love to build forts. All you need are some sheets, blankets, and pillows. You can move the furniture around a bit to support your fort. This could be a great place to let the kids work on a drawing, read, or just journal. Be creative!
Balloons – Kids love to play with balloons. Blow up a bunch of balloons and let them play.
Games – Get out the board games, puzzles, chalk, colors, etc. You may have already played all of the board games in your house. Be creative and have prizes for the winners.
Your kids will love to celebrate. Let your kids do all of the planning and have fun! Let’s make this week amazing. Check out my other Passionate 4 Learning ideas. Or check out my Facebook page. Go ahead and have fun!
I would love to hear from you. Blessings!
Do you feel like God is wanting you to make a change? Is there one thing that you could do to change your life forever? What are you doing with your time? Friends, we have so much beauty just outside of our homes. Are you taking this time to stop, relax, and smell the roses?
For example…
this past week, I walked around my yard and took pictures of the beautiful flowers. I noticed on social media others are doing the same.
I spend a lot of my time…
in the kitchen so I decided to look for some easy crockpot meals to save me time. Do you love to bake? I am having a terrible time finding yeast. If you have been able to purchase yeast, let me know. I baked banana bread a couple of weeks ago. Who doesn’t love banana bread? I tried baking bread without yeast and let’s just say it wasn’t the same.
One thing…
that I am doing on a daily basis is listening to uplifting podcasts. I love Joyce Meyers and Steven Furtick. Let me know your favorites. To stay positive throughout my day, I am learning to change my focus.
Changing our focus will change our attitude in our waiting. God calls us to live in peace in every situation.
How do we live in peace? We call out to Jesus throughout the day.
Help me, Jesus!
Solomon spent his life searching for meaning but ended up being disappointed, frustrated, and exhausted. We can spend our days searching for the meaning behind the Coronavirus, but it will only frustrate us and cause anxiety.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says, “What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
Meaning is not found under the sun but in the Son. Spend time focusing on things that are edifying and build you up.
Change your focus and you will change your life forever!
