traditions

so i just finished studying my lesson for this coming Sunday. it's entitled "A Heritage of Righteous Traditions" yes, that's right! its all about traditions. family traditions to be exact.

what are the things you enjoyed repeatedly as young children in your family? was it an outing? birthdays and holidays? cards read aloud? etc. whatever it is that you do w/ your family treasure it. because when you grow up you'll look back to those days and smile and you would want your own children to have such experiences as well while growing up..

personally me and my family love to go on joyrides and outings.. :)aww.. i miss those times.. everyone in my family is apart right now. and im probably leaving soon. all i have are memories.

another tradition that we have is that we give people gifts during Christmas season. :)either a basket of fruits, a bag full of goodies, pitchers, chopping boards, used clothing, etc. its nice because we get to do that as a family. complete :) but now rarely do we have time to spend a day or two w/ each other. :(

anyway, back to the topic. i'd like you to think of your family traditions and continue doing it. :) think of ways you can improve it.

now that our family traditions are sort of put on hold as of the moment i thought of starting my own tradition. a personal tradition. something that will influence my future family.

the first idea that came to my mind was to read the "blue book" in my book shelf. its been there for quite some time. and dust are starting to pile up. several times have i tried finishing it but whenever im halfway through it ill lose interest. i don't know why that happens.

a friend of mine once said that i should not trifle w/ it because it'll fortify me against the cunning hands of evil. well i think its about time that i put that gift (the book is a gift) to good use. i should start reading it again. and hopefully finish it.

so wish me luck w/ my endless attempts to finish that book cover to cover.. *fingers crossed* ^_^ have a good day everyone!!!
