Celebrate Your Kids by Rick Warren People ought to enjoy every day of their lives no matter how long they live.” (Ecclesiastes 11:8 NCV) Kids need celebration! That is 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, many homes where the parents are basically good parents and are watching out for their kids, but they dont have enough fun. They’re too busy. They come home with their to do list after work is over. All that stuff has got to be done, and they just dont 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). Families ought to be fun. When my kids were growing up, we had what we liked to call Daddys Magical Mystery Tours.” Periodically, I shook up the whole schedule and said, “Forget the routine; were 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 do something outrageous — on a school night! So what if they miss a day of school? Theyre going to remember that event. Theyre going to remember when I got them up real early in the morning and let them eat French toast that I colored green. 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. If youre not having fun with your kids at home and celebrating, dont be surprised that they dont want to spend time at home. If you dont have fun with your kids and really enjoy them, dont be surprised when they grow up and move out and dont want to come back very often. Don’t just endure your kids. Enjoy them!
