Take Time to Play

Sitting on the floor playing with your children seems to be under appreciated. There are no commercials to sell this idea, but it is a wonderful way to spend time with your children. A stack of blocks, a cardboard box, a sock puppet, any of these simple things can lead to twenty minutes of fun. Playing with our children builds our relationship with them day by day. It shows our children that they are important to us. The time spent playing with them is a clearer message of love than money spent on toys or activities away from home.

The time we spend sitting on the floor with play dough, dressing up in costumes or walking down the sidewalk looking at birds and flowers is the time we have to teach our children about God’s love and about God’s gifts to us. Our interest in our children’s lives models God’s divine interest in all of our lives. The greatest gift we can give our children is the time we spend with them.

Enjoy play time,
