Moran Family Fun Night











Every Friday night my family has Moran Family Fun Night. This is my favorite night of the week! What we do differs from week to week. We sometimes stay home and play games, sometimes go out to eat, or go to a friend's house, or have friends to our house. This week we stayed home and played games. We also did our family devotions and ate a wonderful meal. My Dad led the devotions and my Mom cooked the food. I really like family devotions. I learn a lot from these. My Dad reads from the Bible and we listen. (Proverbs 13:1a A wise son hears his father's instruction) Sometimes we read from a special book that my Dad has chosen. Right now we are reading STAND FAST In the Way of Truth by Douglas Bond. I've got a link here on my blog for this book and another one, HOLD FAST In a Broken World. I highly recommend these books. If you want to know more click on the link. My Mom and my sister worked really hard Friday night to prepare a delicious dinner. Olivia loves to cook and she is starting to be a big help to my Mom in the kitchen. She is only 4 years old but she can do a lot. Ethan and Nic and I help cook sometimes too. Ethan helped Mom this week and I usually help when she is baking. We love Family Fun Night because we get to spend time together and that is really important to us. Our family, like most families, is very busy and we all need time together. My Dad's schedule changes often so sometimes we have to get creative about when we will do Family Night but we try to do it every week. I know that my family is a gift from God to me. Later on I am going to write more about each member of my family. For now, I want to close with these verses. 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
Stand Firm!

  1. Colin,
    I agree, family nights are alot of fun. It is so much fun to sit around with one another, play board games and eat those special treats. I love it!!! God has truly blessed us with great families.

    Keep up the good work and study hard for your testing this month. Help mom lots while dad is away. Tell your brothers and Olivia hello. We miss you all and can not wait to see you.

    Love you all,
    Teresa
