Circle of Love II

I had an earlier post about a circle of love for college dorms, and now I need to share some more on the circle of love for the Christian family.
First, the Christian family is not always a husband and a wife and some kids.  Sometimes it is two women living together, similar to the case of Ruth and Naomi.  Sometimes it is a polygamous family in rural Africa.  Sometimes it is what it is.  Whatever family you find yourself in, you can use the idea of circle of love, if there are people in your family willing to talk.
The circle of love is for talking and listening.  It is a circle of couches or chairs in which people can talk with one another.  Here are some ideas regarding the circle of love.
1.  Turn the TV and internet phones off.
2.  Ask the one who does not share as much if there is anything they would like to share.
3.  Let each person talk about whatever they want.
4.  Practice your listening skills.
5.  Talk about where you would like to live.
6.  Talk about a dream vacation.
7.  Talk about your favorite food.
8,  Talk about your favorite book or movie.
9.  Talk about stories from the past, so that they can be passed on to the next generation.
10.  Talk about things you want to do as a family.
