DAY 15 (Friday)
Part of being in a family is walking through the ups and downs of life together. Next time you see someone in your family who’s sad or had a bad day, let them know you’re there for them. Give them a hug, offer to play a game, or just sit and listen while they talk.

DAY 14 (Thursday)
Selflessness doesn’t come naturally. And while it’s good to make sure we communicate our own needs with those who love us, an attitude of “you first” can radically change how your family treats one another. Jesus led the way in putting others first, and we can learn from Him how we should treat others. Take a moment to thank God for Jesus’ example, and ask Him to help you put others first today.

DAY 13 (Wednesday)
Honor is a funny word. It sounds so formal. Does that mean you should bow down to your parents like they’re royalty? I mean, you can try that if you want. But what honor really looks like is holding your tongue when you want to talk back, not rolling your eyes when your dad says something embarrassing, and choosing to follow your parents’ rules even when they’re not in the room. Sometime this week, ask your mom, dad, or whoever you live with, if there’s something you can do that would make them feel respected.

Every family is forever, so treat them that way.

DAY 12 (Tuesday)
We all want our homes to be places where there’s safety, trust for one another, hope for the future, and a commitment to sticking it out no matter what. But that’s not always the case. Sometimes we get hurt or people walk away. You can’t control what other people in your family will do, but you can choose to love them the way the writer of 1 Corinthians described: with a love that always protects, always trusts, and always perseveres. Pick one of the words in this verse and ask a friend or your Small Group Leader to help you come up with ideas for how to do this at home.

DAY 11 (Monday)
Sometimes it’s easier to be kind to and have fun with people who don’t live with us than to our own families. There’s something about living with people that can make it harder to love them. But in 1 John 4:21, we see that if we want to love God, then we have to love others—including those in our families. Sit down and make a list of all the ways you treat your friends to show them you like them. Choose one of the things from that list and do it for a member of your family.

DAY 10 (Friday)
The people we love know how to push our buttons better than anyone. It’s like they know just what to say or do to get us fuming. The next time you can feel anger brewing inside you, step back and talk to God about how you feel. You don’t have to fight back or slam doors. Instead, you can choose to let it go and move on.

DAY 9 (Thursday)
Whether we realize it or not, many of us compare ourselves to and compete with those who live in the closest proximity to us: our brothers and sisters. Sibling rivalry is a real thing. This week, instead of teasing, arguing, or ignoring your siblings, invite them to play a game, watch a movie, or do something you both enjoy together.

DAY 8 (Wednesday)
Have you ever worn a wool sweater that was too small for you? Maybe it smelled funny and made your skin itch. Do you remember how it felt when you peeled it off and changed into your favorite, comfy hoodie? Just like we can do with our actual clothes, we have the ability to change bad attitudes for good ones. The next time you feel anger, rage, or the need to lie, take it off and put on something new. Put on a heart of compassion or kindness or trust.
