Family Traditions
A few years back I heard a memorable sermon. Tom Herzog was talking about significant moments in his life that he titled 'Joshua Moments'. After very personal significant moments with his children he would keep a 'souvenier' from that moment and it would be called, from that moment onward, a Joshua moment. And he would have an artifact to remember it by, like Joshua would after a great victory or memorable moment in his life.
I am very much looking forward to adopting this tradition into my relationship with my son.
The 'Joshua Moments' idea all came back to me after I recieved a book through the mail from Tom today called 'You Have What it Takes' What every Father Needs to Know - by John Eldredge. It was a wonderful surprise and I look forward to reading it.
I am also looking forward to starting our own family traditions at different times of the year. I also want to hear what other family traditions people do with their kids. If you don't have kids yet - what traditions are you going to put into place? So tell me your traditions in the comments box.

Nous avons une tradition de donner à un présent sur quelqu'un l'anniversaire. Est habituellement est une flagellation terrible avec la branche d'un arbre de saule. Nous tous avons un bon rire. Les traditions sont tellement amusement.
For those of you who don't speak French so well, here's what Doug roughly said -
We have a tradition to give to one present on somebody the birthday. Is usually is a terrible scourging with the branch of a tree of willow. We all have a good laughter. The traditions are so much recreation.
Here's roughly what Luke said in his native language.
"I want to bathe out of liquid cheese. Moreover, I would like to be the commander of a boat full with old women beautful."
