Family Day
When we were young, my parents used to take
us out on Sundays for visits to parks or public gardens in
our area, or occasionally to other sites of interest nearby.
When the weather was bad, the whole family played cards or
board games, or watched television. My father's version of
tiddlywinks involved all of us madly scrambling around on
all fours to flick away other family members' "winks".
We laughed so hard it made potting our own “winks”
difficult, but it was a lot of fun and those occasions are
still fondly remembered. Our family relationships were
greatly enhanced by doing things together. We played
together, prayed together, and stayed together. My
parents are gone now, but my sisters and brother have
maintained a closeness of spirit even though we live many
miles apart, and I credit that to the whole family
participating in activities every Sunday.
Bowling is an activity in which all family members can
participate, since age and athleticism are not important.
There are so many demands that pull families apart ... let's
take the opportunity to have some fun and participate in one
activity that brings us together!
