Every year we take a family walk on our final evening together at the beach. It has become a very special time and space for us to be a family and share how much we love and appreciate each person in our family and pray for one another in anticipation for heading home and starting life after our time of rejuvenation.
It never ceases to amaze me how much we, as family, need to be encouraged and told why we are loved and valued. I'm not a fan of praising my kids for mediocrity but I am a huge fan of telling them why I love them as much as I do and teaching them how important it is to communicate words of affirmation to others as well.
