He mentioned that story is one of the great ways. He said history, and story, and example are part of how we transmit what is moral to the next generation. There is power in telling stories that illustrate important truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> I couldn\u2019t agree more because I think, as parents, sometimes, what we think we need to do is teach it\u2014but the most important way they can see it, or learn it, or decide they want to own it\u2014that\u2019s the real goal\u2014is that our kids want to own those character qualities, those virtues, that morality\u2014is by catching it from somebody else\u2019s life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We\u2019ve been spending some time, this week, updating our listeners on the projects that you\u2019ve been involved with. Over the last year, you have helped to create\u2014I don\u2019t know how many it\u2019s been\u2014eight, nine, ten different resources for families\u2014a lot of them tied to holidays; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes. A lot of them are tied to holidays because that\u2019s such a natural, easy time for families to gather together. We tend to think, \u201cWhat can I do to make this meaningful?\u201d So, I\u2019ve started with the holidays because I think that\u2019s the easiest way for families to naturally connect and engage with one another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And last year, she started with Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. I was going to say, \u201cLast year, at Christmas, you developed seven ornaments, that hang on Christmas trees\u2014that were seven different names of Jesus from Isaiah, Chapter 9, and from Luke, Chapter 2.

At Easter time, you had a couple of resources that you had developed. One was a Lenten mystery that you had that families could go through together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was the Behold the Lambwreath that you could use during Holy Week to investigate the \u201cI AM\u201d statements of Jesus; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And then, you started gearing up for Thanksgiving. One of the resources that you\u2019ve developed for families to use this year at Thanksgiving is something that\u2019s called Written and Remembered<em>.<\/em> Explain what that is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Well, <em>Written and Remembered<\/em> is a small book. In the small book are four stories. As we were talking, a few minutes ago, the importance of stories\u2014one of my strong desires is to help pass on to the next generation the stories of some incredibly godly people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe very first story in the <em>Written and Remembered<\/em> book is Joni Eareckson Tada. I am amazed how many young people, college-age students and younger, don\u2019t know who she is. That is just tragic to me because this is a woman who has demonstrated faith, and gratitude, and courage probably like few others.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> For her story not to be known is just wrong. So, I\u2019ve included her story. It\u2019s the first one. Then, there are three other stories in this book. It\u2019s designed to be read, one story a week, during the month of November; or you can read them day after day for four days in a week; or you don\u2019t even have to use it in November. If you decide your kids are griping and they need kind of an attitude correction on being thankful, pull it out in January; and read it in January. It doesn\u2019t matter.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> But this is more than just a story book.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Explain\u2014once you\u2019ve read the story, explain how it all works together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve read the story, then the idea is to do an experiment together, as a family, to try to make that quality of gratitude real in your life. For instance, the experiment that follows reading Joni\u2019s story is for everyone to find a chair to sit in\u2014preferably, a chair that has arms. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEveryone sits in that chair\u2014put your arms on the arms of the chair\u2014and not move at all and to pretend that you are paralyzed like Joni is\u2014and to see how long you can sit in that chair without scratching your nose, or crossing your legs, or getting up to go to the bathroom, or going into the kitchen because you\u2019re hungry. And to think about what it would be like not to be able to move, and to think about how wonderful it is that you can, and then to think about how grateful you should be that you have all of your abilities. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, knowing her story\u2014knowing how grateful she is\u2014how she praises God, in the midst of her handicap\u2014it\u2019s awe-inspiring. It\u2019s worshipful. So, in this story, designed\u2014and the other three like it\u2014are designed to read the story, to learn about someone\u2014to learn about this hero of faith\u2014and then to do an experiment, as a family, that will help cement that quality of gratitude.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And the other three stories are great stories, as well. In fact, there are a couple in here that I\u2019d never heard. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne\u2014Bob\u2014that you know something about: It\u2019s the story of John and Donna Bishop.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, yes. It\u2019s a great story\u2014one that we\u2019ve featured, here on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em> It\u2019s a powerful love story\u2014a husband and a wife\u2014and a wife who showed that when she said, \u201cIn sickness and in health,\u201d she meant it; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There are envelopes or cards in here, as well?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Cards.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Explain about that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> The product comes with a book with the four stories, but it also comes with a stack of 30 postcards. The postcards are to be used\u2014for instance, after you read the story of John and Donna Bishop, or after you\u2019ve read the story about Joni Eareckson Tada\u2014you write on there what you\u2019re thankful for. Then, you display them for the day, or for the week, or for the whole month of November.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey are specifically designed as postcards because one of the experiments is, after I think it is story number three or four, is to make a list, as a family, of everybody who serves you\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tand then to actually write postcards\u2014because these are designed so that you can put a stamp on them\u2014and they can go in the mail. You would write a postcard and say, \u201cThank you,\u201d to a grandmother, to the postman\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Schoolteacher.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> \u2014to schoolteachers, to the babysitter. The list really could be almost limitless if you really engaged in this, as a family. You could come up with a list of perhaps 50 people, and you might not have enough postcards.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You have tested this resource with some families, just to see how it works. We thought, maybe, we\u2019d get one of those families on the line\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> I think it\u2019d be a great idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014and find out how this happened at their home.

It\u2019s called Written and Remembered. It has some stories in it. It has some note cards.\u201d Was this something you thought, \u201cI\u2019m excited to try it,\u201d or did you roll your eyes and go: \u201cHere\u2019s something else Mom\u2019s sending me. I have to do it, I guess.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I think there\u2019s probably a little bit of both, actually; because to be quite honest, none of us need one more thing\u2014especially, not when you\u2019ve got six kids. But the flip side is that I know that whatever I\u2019m going to be trying to do, even if I only get half of it done, is better than zero. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo part of me is, \u201cOhhh!\u201d; and then part of me is like: \u201cOkay, awesome! I might actually have a chance to instill some really neat principles, or values, or insight in my children\u2019s lives,\u201d which is what I want to do, all the time. So, really, mostly, I\u2019m just really grateful because it\u2019s what I want to give my kids, all the time, anyway.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>11:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Did you do this at a meal time or what time of day did you do it?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I actually decided to do it with just my homeschool kids this time, over the lunch hour. I thought, \u201cWell, I\u2019ll just do a couple,\u201d but they actually had so much fun that they would be like: \u201cMom, is there another story? Can we do the next one? What\u2019s the next one? Is there an experiment for that one?\u201d They actually pestered me to death, and we did all of them. It was a wonderful learning experience, and we continue to discuss what we learned.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn fact, we\u2019ve been done doing them for probably several weeks now; and we had a discussion today about it again. It\u2019s been an ongoing learning experience for my kids, which has been really cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Now, I remember when our kids were about the age of your kids. We would try to do some spiritually-oriented exercise or read some devotional something or other.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> It didn\u2019t go so well for you; really?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I just remember there being a lot of fidgeting going on.

I feel like the story was pretty short. I picked my first story because I didn\u2019t think I was going to do them all. I looked at it, and the very first one I chose was something about \u201cStranded in Outer Space\u201d or something. I thought, \u201cOkay. They\u2019re boys, and they think that sounds really cool.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Outer space is cool.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Yes, right. I just started reading it to them. About halfway through the story, I said: \u201cNow, you guys know this is a true story; right? This really happened.\u201d They all looked at me. They were like: \u201cReally? Wow!\u201d I was like: \u201cOkay, awesome! Let\u2019s keep reading.\u201d They were pretty into it. I tried to choose something that I thought they would enjoy and be excited about, and they were. They loved it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And what\u2019s the experiment that you do after you\u2019re stranded in outer space? [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Well, the story is\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> I don\u2019t want to hear from you. I want to hear from her, okay?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Oh, okay.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You just be quiet; alright? [Laughter] \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Yes, but Dad really likes to tell; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I do like to tell.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I know. I get that from you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> I had not heard this story, and your mom wrote about it. I thought, \u201cThis is a cool story.\u201d So, I understand why the boys got hooked.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>13:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Okay. Well, it\u2019s the story of Apollo 13. I know that there\u2019s a movie out, but my children are too young to see that movie. There are things in it that aren\u2019t appropriate for my kids. So, they\u2019d never heard the story. They didn\u2019t know. But the experiment is\u2014you\u2019re supposed to do it for a whole day\u2014but I try to do things that I feel like I can actually manage with six children. So, we actually just did this experiment for one meal.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat you\u2019re supposed to do is you\u2019re supposed to not use anything in your kitchen for lunch, and you have to eat lunch. You can\u2019t use silverware, plates, microwaves, stoves, ovens\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Cups, glasses.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> \u2014utensils of any kind.

I like to just sit and enjoy a warm meal. So, I was like, \u201cOkay.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So what did you have for lunch that day?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Oh, I had a cold sandwich. We ate our lunch\u2014are you ready? They got Frisbees<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The kids went outside and made a little small campfire. They rigged all these sticks together. They took some leftover pizza out there, and positioned the pizza on top of the fire to toast the bread to\u2014warm their pizza\u2014the leftover pizza.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, another kid got a toothbrush and took the lid off the yogurt; right? We had some yogurt. It had one of those foil lids. They took a rubber band, and they fashioned a spoon out of the foil to spoon the yogurt into their mouth. They ate the yogurt that way with a toothbrush\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There we go.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> \u2014and a rubber band. Isn\u2019t that awesome? I was like, \u201cYou are really doing good.\u201d Then, they got\u2014at first, they wanted to eat their food on the Legos<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. Let me just say that\u2014to begin with\u2014and I had to go ahead and give the squash down on that because food inside your Legos\u2014it\u2019s never coming out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> But they did find a Lego container. We actually drank our water out of the Lego container. I said: \u201cThat\u2019s fine. We can put water in it.\u201d That was\u2014I was really pretty impressed with my children, actually. I was like, \u201cY\u2019all go find something;\u201d and that\u2019s what they came up with. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other one that we did is\u2014I can\u2019t remember. Mom, can tell you who the guy is from the Communist\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Cornel Portra [Uncertain of spelling].\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Thank you. Cornel\u2014I could remember that part\u2014but we had to make ID cards and present them at meals and anytime we went anywhere\u2014similar to how they had to do in Communist countries. We did that one day. We used lunch sacks, and we had to present our cards. Of course, we did this one, starting at lunch, for the rest of the day. I was like, \u201cOkay, I can do this.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, the kids were like, \u201cWell, what happens if we don\u2019t present our card at school?\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cWell, I might give your knuckles a rap with a ruler or something.\u201d They were just mortified that I might inflict punishment upon them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey were like: \u201cWhat? You would really do that?\u201d I said: \u201cMaybe. That\u2019s what happened to Cornel. He got in real trouble if he didn\u2019t have his card.\u201d They were just appalled that I might do that. So, they all had their cards when they came to school. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, as soon as the big kids got home, they were like: \u201cYou have to fill out your card. Then, we need to see them before you go up to your room.\u201d They\u2019re carding each other, and they\u2019re carding me. Every time I go anywhere, they\u2019re like: \u201cMom, can we see your card? Do you have it on you? Where\u2019s your card?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe get ready to eat dinner. My eight-year-old can\u2019t find his card. He\u2019s in tears because I had said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t have your card, you\u2019re not eating.\u201d He is sobbing. My kids are like, \u201cWell, Mom, can we get our dinner and share some of our dinner with Andrew?\u201d Everyone is looking for his card, all over the whole house, and we can\u2019t find it. Everybody is really stressed out. Anyway, I did feed my child. I did not make him skip his dinner.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s about the time when I would say: \u201cGame over. Just pony up here, son.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Yes, exactly. I\u2019m like: \u201cOkay, look, it\u2019s not worth it. They probably didn\u2019t make the little kids keep up with their cards. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s fine. Come to dinner. It\u2019s not a big deal.\u201d But the next morning, he\u2019s like, \u201cI found it! Here it is. I can eat breakfast.\u201d [Laughter] It was really a good experience for the boys. They have enjoyed talking about it. I think it just makes the story real and gives them some real tangible way to experience it and to understand what some of these people went through. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOf course, when you\u2019re done, you\u2019re supposed to do the cards. We did some of the cards. On our Apollo 13 day, I thought it was really cool. I asked the boys what they were thankful for. My six-year-old actually said, \u201cI\u2019m thankful for Frisbees, for firewood, and for toothbrushes.\u201d I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s really cool that he\u2019s thankful that we had resources to still have our lunch.\u201d Of course, I was thankful that we didn\u2019t have to do that all the other days. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>18:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThat\u2019s what I\u2019m thankful for, and he\u2019s thankful that we were able to still pull off our lunch that day. It was really neat to then go through and talk about what we are thankful for. On our carding day, I said, \u201cAre you all really thankful for freedom?\u201d They said, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Ashley, as a mom with a lot of kids, what\u2019s the best part of something like this for you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I think the best part about it is, really, just knowing that, even though they may not remember the specifics of it, they\u2019re going to remember that we tried to teach them\u2014that there was some intentionality around our discussions\u2014and that we tried to cultivate a heart of thankfulness in their lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet\u2019s face it, I\u2019m not that thankful. My children are not that thankful. We\u2019re just selfish, ungrateful people a lot of the times. I think, someday, when they\u2019re older, they\u2019ll look back and they\u2019ll go, \u201cYou know, that was really important in our family\u2014was to have a heart of gratitude, and thanks, and kindness.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think just knowing that there\u2019s a way to teach that\u2014that can possibly reach them in a way that just telling them verbally won\u2019t accomplish\u2014I think that that\u2019s really valuable.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And your mom made it easy for you; didn\u2019t she?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I mean, bless her!

There are lots of resources that FamilyLife puts out that just help moms and dads reach their children and do it in a real effective way.

He mentioned that story is one of the great ways. He said history, and story, and example are part of how we transmit what is moral to the next generation. There is power in telling stories that illustrate important truth.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> I couldn\u2019t agree more because I think, as parents, sometimes, what we think we need to do is teach it\u2014but the most important way they can see it, or learn it, or decide they want to own it\u2014that\u2019s the real goal\u2014is that our kids want to own those character qualities, those virtues, that morality\u2014is by catching it from somebody else\u2019s life.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We\u2019ve been spending some time, this week, updating our listeners on the projects that you\u2019ve been involved with. Over the last year, you have helped to create\u2014I don\u2019t know how many it\u2019s been\u2014eight, nine, ten different resources for families\u2014a lot of them tied to holidays; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>3:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes. A lot of them are tied to holidays because that\u2019s such a natural, easy time for families to gather together. We tend to think, \u201cWhat can I do to make this meaningful?\u201d So, I\u2019ve started with the holidays because I think that\u2019s the easiest way for families to naturally connect and engage with one another.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And last year, she started with Adorenaments<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right. I was going to say, \u201cLast year, at Christmas, you developed seven ornaments, that hang on Christmas trees\u2014that were seven different names of Jesus from Isaiah, Chapter 9, and from Luke, Chapter 2. You called them His \u201cChristmas names\u201d; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And this year, you have a new line of seven more ornaments coming out; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And these are the \u201croyal names\u201d?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> These are His royal names.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And you\u2019ve done these in the shape of a crown.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> We\u2019ll talk more about that later. At Easter time, you had a couple of resources that you had developed. One was a Lenten mystery that you had that families could go through together. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>4:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere was the Behold the Lambwreath that you could use during Holy Week to investigate the \u201cI AM\u201d statements of Jesus; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And then, you started gearing up for Thanksgiving. One of the resources that you\u2019ve developed for families to use this year at Thanksgiving is something that\u2019s called Written and Remembered<em>.<\/em> Explain what that is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Well, <em>Written and Remembered<\/em> is a small book. In the small book are four stories. As we were talking, a few minutes ago, the importance of stories\u2014one of my strong desires is to help pass on to the next generation the stories of some incredibly godly people. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe very first story in the <em>Written and Remembered<\/em> book is Joni Eareckson Tada. I am amazed how many young people, college-age students and younger, don\u2019t know who she is. That is just tragic to me because this is a woman who has demonstrated faith, and gratitude, and courage probably like few others.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>5:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> For her story not to be known is just wrong. So, I\u2019ve included her story. It\u2019s the first one. Then, there are three other stories in this book. It\u2019s designed to be read, one story a week, during the month of November; or you can read them day after day for four days in a week; or you don\u2019t even have to use it in November. If you decide your kids are griping and they need kind of an attitude correction on being thankful, pull it out in January; and read it in January. It doesn\u2019t matter.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> But this is more than just a story book.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes, it is.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Explain\u2014once you\u2019ve read the story, explain how it all works together.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve read the story, then the idea is to do an experiment together, as a family, to try to make that quality of gratitude real in your life. For instance, the experiment that follows reading Joni\u2019s story is for everyone to find a chair to sit in\u2014preferably, a chair that has arms. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>6:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tEveryone sits in that chair\u2014put your arms on the arms of the chair\u2014and not move at all and to pretend that you are paralyzed like Joni is\u2014and to see how long you can sit in that chair without scratching your nose, or crossing your legs, or getting up to go to the bathroom, or going into the kitchen because you\u2019re hungry. And to think about what it would be like not to be able to move, and to think about how wonderful it is that you can, and then to think about how grateful you should be that you have all of your abilities. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, knowing her story\u2014knowing how grateful she is\u2014how she praises God, in the midst of her handicap\u2014it\u2019s awe-inspiring. It\u2019s worshipful. So, in this story, designed\u2014and the other three like it\u2014are designed to read the story, to learn about someone\u2014to learn about this hero of faith\u2014and then to do an experiment, as a family, that will help cement that quality of gratitude.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> And the other three stories are great stories, as well. In fact, there are a couple in here that I\u2019d never heard. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>7:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne\u2014Bob\u2014that you know something about: It\u2019s the story of John and Donna Bishop.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Oh, yes. It\u2019s a great story\u2014one that we\u2019ve featured, here on <em>FamilyLife Today.<\/em> It\u2019s a powerful love story\u2014a husband and a wife\u2014and a wife who showed that when she said, \u201cIn sickness and in health,\u201d she meant it; right?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There are envelopes or cards in here, as well?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> Cards.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Explain about that.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> The product comes with a book with the four stories, but it also comes with a stack of 30 postcards. The postcards are to be used\u2014for instance, after you read the story of John and Donna Bishop, or after you\u2019ve read the story about Joni Eareckson Tada\u2014you write on there what you\u2019re thankful for. Then, you display them for the day, or for the week, or for the whole month of November.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey are specifically designed as postcards because one of the experiments is, after I think it is story number three or four, is to make a list, as a family, of everybody who serves you\u2014 \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>8:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tand then to actually write postcards\u2014because these are designed so that you can put a stamp on them\u2014and they can go in the mail. You would write a postcard and say, \u201cThank you,\u201d to a grandmother, to the postman\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Schoolteacher.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> \u2014to schoolteachers, to the babysitter. The list really could be almost limitless if you really engaged in this, as a family. You could come up with a list of perhaps 50 people, and you might not have enough postcards.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> You have tested this resource with some families, just to see how it works. We thought, maybe, we\u2019d get one of those families on the line\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Barbara:<\/strong> I think it\u2019d be a great idea.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> \u2014and find out how this happened at their home. So let\u2019s see if we can get a caller on the line, who has used the Written and Remembered resource\u2014not during Thanksgiving season\u2014used it during another time of the yea\u2014but just find out how it went with her family.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tCaller, are you on the line with us?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I\u2019m here.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes.

What\u2019s the next one? Is there an experiment for that one?\u201d They actually pestered me to death, and we did all of them.

I looked at it, and the very first one I chose was something about \u201cStranded in Outer Space\u201d or something. I thought, \u201cOkay.

They were like: \u201cReally? Wow!\u201d I was like: \u201cOkay, awesome! Let\u2019s keep reading.\u201d They were pretty into it. I tried to choose something that I thought they would enjoy and be excited about, and they were. They loved it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And what\u2019s the experiment that you do after you\u2019re stranded in outer space?

Well, it\u2019s the story of Apollo 13. I know that there\u2019s a movie out, but my children are too young to see that movie. There are things in it that aren\u2019t appropriate for my kids. So, they\u2019d never heard the story. They didn\u2019t know. But the experiment is\u2014you\u2019re supposed to do it for a whole day\u2014but I try to do things that I feel like I can actually manage with six children. So, we actually just did this experiment for one meal.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWhat you\u2019re supposed to do is you\u2019re supposed to not use anything in your kitchen for lunch, and you have to eat lunch.

I like to just sit and enjoy a warm meal. So, I was like, \u201cOkay.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> So what did you have for lunch that day?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> Oh, I had a cold sandwich. We ate our lunch\u2014are you ready? They got Frisbees<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The kids went outside and made a little small campfire. They rigged all these sticks together.

We had some yogurt. It had one of those foil lids. They took a rubber band, and they fashioned a spoon out of the foil to spoon the yogurt into their mouth. They ate the yogurt that way with a toothbrush\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> There we go.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> \u2014and a rubber band.

Let me just say that\u2014to begin with\u2014and I had to go ahead and give the squash down on that because food inside your Legos\u2014it\u2019s never coming out.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>15:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, right.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> But they did find a Lego container.

I was like, \u201cY\u2019all go find something;\u201d and that\u2019s what they came up with. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe other one that we did is\u2014I can\u2019t remember.

Cornel\u2014I could remember that part\u2014but we had to make ID cards and present them at meals and anytime we went anywhere\u2014similar to how they had to do in Communist countries. We did that one day. We used lunch sacks, and we had to present our cards. Of course, we did this one, starting at lunch, for the rest of the day. I was like, \u201cOkay, I can do this.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWell, the kids were like, \u201cWell, what happens if we don\u2019t present our card at school?\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cWell, I might give your knuckles a rap with a ruler or something.\u201d They were just mortified that I might inflict punishment upon them. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>16:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey were like: \u201cWhat? You would really do that?\u201d I said: \u201cMaybe. That\u2019s what happened to Cornel. He got in real trouble if he didn\u2019t have his card.\u201d They were just appalled that I might do that. So, they all had their cards when they came to school. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThen, as soon as the big kids got home, they were like: \u201cYou have to fill out your card. Then, we need to see them before you go up to your room.\u201d They\u2019re carding each other, and they\u2019re carding me. Every time I go anywhere, they\u2019re like: \u201cMom, can we see your card? Do you have it on you? Where\u2019s your card?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe get ready to eat dinner. My eight-year-old can\u2019t find his card. He\u2019s in tears because I had said, \u201cIf you don\u2019t have your card, you\u2019re not eating.\u201d He is sobbing. My kids are like, \u201cWell, Mom, can we get our dinner and share some of our dinner with Andrew?\u201d Everyone is looking for his card, all over the whole house, and we can\u2019t find it. Everybody is really stressed out. Anyway, I did feed my child. I did not make him skip his dinner.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s about the time when I would say: \u201cGame over.

They probably didn\u2019t make the little kids keep up with their cards. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>17:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt\u2019s fine. Come to dinner. It\u2019s not a big deal.\u201d But the next morning, he\u2019s like, \u201cI found it! Here it is. I can eat breakfast.\u201d [Laughter] It was really a good experience for the boys. They have enjoyed talking about it. I think it just makes the story real and gives them some real tangible way to experience it and to understand what some of these people went through. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOf course, when you\u2019re done, you\u2019re supposed to do the cards. We did some of the cards. On our Apollo 13 day, I thought it was really cool. I asked the boys what they were thankful for. My six-year-old actually said, \u201cI\u2019m thankful for Frisbees, for firewood, and for toothbrushes.\u201d I thought, \u201cThat\u2019s really cool that he\u2019s thankful that we had resources to still have our lunch.\u201d Of course, I was thankful that we didn\u2019t have to do that all the other days.

It was really neat to then go through and talk about what we are thankful for. On our carding day, I said, \u201cAre you all really thankful for freedom?\u201d They said, \u201cAbsolutely.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Ashley, as a mom with a lot of kids, what\u2019s the best part of something like this for you?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I think the best part about it is, really, just knowing that, even though they may not remember the specifics of it, they\u2019re going to remember that we tried to teach them\u2014that there was some intentionality around our discussions\u2014and that we tried to cultivate a heart of thankfulness in their lives. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLet\u2019s face it, I\u2019m not that thankful. My children are not that thankful. We\u2019re just selfish, ungrateful people a lot of the times. I think, someday, when they\u2019re older, they\u2019ll look back and they\u2019ll go, \u201cYou know, that was really important in our family\u2014was to have a heart of gratitude, and thanks, and kindness.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>19:00<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI think just knowing that there\u2019s a way to teach that\u2014that can possibly reach them in a way that just telling them verbally won\u2019t accomplish\u2014I think that that\u2019s really valuable.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> And your mom made it easy for you; didn\u2019t she?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Ashley:<\/strong> I mean, bless her!
