Some questions to ponder... - Mark and Jill Savage

How would you revolutionize your home, family, or marriage if you…

…prayed together as a family?

…refrained from saying everything you think and measured your words instead?

…bought and wore a matching bra and panties set (white and beige don’t count!)?

We have always prayed at mealtime as a couple and later as a family. We also pray with our children individually when we tuck them in at night. Thanks to a guest preacher that came to our church Sunday, we had a family prayer structured around giving our family strength. It was an awesome message on facing the difficulties that come with children reaching the teen/college years. There was a time for parents to pray and then for children to pray for the parents. It was a very sweet and precious time for me and my family.

Love the third one (okay my husband says the third one is the 2nd most important). Loe your work Jill!

My youngest (7 yr. old) has recently suggested we “pray more as a family” by having us do an activity she was given at Sunday School class, where we fill out slips of paper with prayer requests and pull a couple at dinner time, to include in our meal-prayer. I’m so thankful for her and her persistence, too! 🙂 Last night was our first night trying her activity and I think it could continue.

The “criticism fast” you mentioned earlier this week was very helpful, too! Thanks, Jill.

Thanks for the practical questions to think about this weekend. I laughed after I read the 3rd one! It just wasn’t what a expected! But I do agree and may also need to do some shopping soon!
