\"\"<\/a>Connect – (v.)\u00c2\u00a0 to join or fasten together.<\/p>\n

Connecting allows us to join as a family and fasten our values together.\u00c2\u00a0 A strong connection requires quality<\/span> AND quantity<\/span> time.\u00c2\u00a0 Are there connection busters in your life that cause you to be:\u00c2\u00a0 over committed, self-absorbed, preoccupied, fatigued, stressed?\u00c2\u00a0 Prioritize your life by making sure first things don’t come last.<\/p>\n

Need help to prioritize?<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Think:\u00c2\u00a0 Do I take enough time for the most important areas of my life?<\/li>\n
  2. Before your begin a task, ask yourself: How important is this & does it need to be done right away?<\/li>\n
  3. Jot down lists of things you need to do.<\/li>\n
  4. Don’t compare or copy your life after other people.<\/li>\n
  5. Evaluate what you need to cut out of your schedule to simplify you life.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    When we prioritize who and what is important, we make more room for connecting with our God and our family.\u00c2\u00a0 Connect more by:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Eating meals together<\/li>\n
    • Communicating when you come and go<\/li>\n
    • Having one-on-one time with each child<\/li>\n
    • Meeting needs as they come up<\/li>\n
    • Asking questions: What’s going well for you?\u00c2\u00a0 What’s not going well?<\/li>\n
    • Planning and going on family outings\/vacations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      So before you connect with the TV, internet, email, or facebook, consider connecting face-to-face with the important people in your life and build on those significant relationships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
