Be a cheerleader for your family member today!
“Love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire" Song of Solomon 8:6.
Today’s dare should have been easy… but it wasn’t. We challenged each other to encourage the other family members. We should have been able to find ample opportunity to do this. I think part of our struggle is that the novelty of the dare is starting to wear off. We aren’t embracing the idea as readily as we did at the beginning.
I have seen the kids work on this aspect in the past few days (since day eight). I guess now the real challenge of sticking to the dare starts.
Lord, renew our enthusiasm for the dare and for our family. Help us look for opportunities to love and encourage each other.
