RICK WARREN DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY 25TH AUGUST 2024
Kids need celebration!
That’s just a fancy word for fun. Families ought to have fun! The home should be a place to play. This is a major fault in many homes where the parents are basically good and are watching out for their kids, but they don’t have enough fun. They’re too busy. They come home with a “to-do” list after work. All that stuff has to be done, and they just don’t have time for fun.
Do you endure your kids, or do you enjoy them? Kids need celebration.
“People ought to enjoy every day of their lives, no matter how long they live” (Ecclesiastes 11:8 NCV).
When my kids were growing up, we had what we liked to call “Daddy’s Magical Mystery Tours.” Periodically, I shook up the whole schedule and said, “Forget the routine; we’re going to go have fun.” I would even wake up the kids in the middle of the night and put them in the car and go do something outrageous—on a school night! So what if they miss one day of school? They’re going to remember that event. They’ll remember when I got them up early in the morning and let them eat French toast that I colored green.
The Bible says, “Children are a gift from the LORD” and that “a cheerful heart is good medicine” (Psalm 127:3, Proverbs 17:22 NLT). Have fun with your kids! Enjoy them!
No single day out of routine is going to make or break their lives. But a single special event that is crazy and fun will make a memory your kids will never forget.
