FIELD NOTES
As my second son grows, and learns, we see all sorts of new expressions and reactions from him. At 18 months, he’s what I would call a walking fountain of love and joy. Everything elicits a smile, or a hug, or both. He’s quick to snuggle and quick to laugh. He is learning that these behaviors elicit from mom and dad similar reactions, creating a cycle of love and joy. He is without the weight of the world, and as a father, the love and joy he brings help quiet the voices of negativity out in the world that constantly bombard us.
QUESTIONS FOR THE FIELD
- What brings you joy?
- How do you fight against the negative voices out in the world?
FAMILY FIELD TALK
- What do love and joy look like in our actions?
PRAYER GUIDE
Lord, may your love and joy flow through us in a way that helps us resist the outside negativity of the world. Amen.
