Occasionally, in church, I like to pass around to each family member a piece of paper titled, "All About (Name): (Name) Is..." And then let each family member add whatever kind of observation they have about that person. The benefits are simple and important: The writer is able to reflect on the good qualities of that person and the recipient gets to feel great and appreciated. It's a quick, simple, yet meaningful, way to feel connected and to further solidify the family bond and loyalty to one another. It's also interesting and fun to find out what each other notice about each other.
