What’s in it for me? Revamp your family's routine to stimulate spiritual growth.

Living a spiritually fulfilling life entails more than just joining a religious group or embracing certain beliefs. It involves learning about our place in the universe, connecting with what exists beyond ourselves, and engaging in activities that provide personal fulfillment, such as prayer.

But life is hard. And life is busy – especially family life. It’s easy to lose touch with who we are and who we want to be. To cope, we revert to hollow home rituals. Sound familiar? If you find yourself nodding, you’re in the right place.

While this Blink to Habits of the Household specifically focuses on Christian values and discusses the role of God in everyday life, it offers tips that can help anyone take control of their habits.

You see, habits are like deep-rooted weeds that can be difficult to break free of. They are powerful, influential forces that shape identity and character. It takes consistent effort and practice to change them.

Developing positive habits is paramount to being a successful parent and partner because they shape us and the lives of those we love. This can be a scary realization. But imagine the joy and fulfillment of reshaping your home as a school of love, where ordinary activities strengthen family bonds and create an environment that reflects your values.

This Blink will show you how altering your habits can affect your behavior and spiritual outlook. Prepare to add depth and meaning to mealtimes, work, play, and all aspects of your family’s culture.

Section One: Awaken to God's light.

When you wake up, are you really “awake?” If you start the day feeling overwhelmed by the clutter of your responsibilities, the answer is no. It’s time to rise and embrace a new reality – God’s reality.

It’s easy to get swept up by the bustle of daily routine and lose touch with the present moment and God’s word. Maybe you grab your phone as soon as you wake up, and before you know it, you’re scrolling through social media or emails. We’ve all been there. Too often, we switch on autopilot mode before we’re even out of bed.

But what if you took a moment to reflect on something more meaningful? Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, you could wake up in God’s reality. Try starting your day by lifting your concerns through prayer. Just a few moments of reflection and seeking strength from Scripture will help you rise in love rather than anxiety. Now your eyes are open.

Bringing this feeling of love into the rest of your morning can be a challenge. Our schedules affect who we are. Just think about what happens when your plans are thrown off early on. A minor inconvenience, like a child who’s taking forever to get ready for school, can put you in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

We all have those tough moments, right? But rather than dwell on them, why not take a brief moment to pray? It will serve as a powerful spiritual reminder that you are in God’s presence and set an excellent example for your kids. Be sure to tell your family about your new habit and make it a team effort by bringing Christ into your daily routine. Say a quick prayer before breakfast or before leaving the house.

Life may have its ups and downs, but that doesn’t mean you have to face them by yourself. God’s presence can remind you that you’re never truly alone, no matter what life throws at you. By making a habit out of reading Scripture, you can shape yourself to be more like God. And in doing so, you’ll live your beliefs and inspire those around you to do the same.

Section Two: Find purpose and meaning in the mundane.

As you rush through your morning routine, your thoughts are often already on the day ahead. There are deadlines to meet, appointments to keep, and an endless to-do list. But what if there were a way to find deeper meaning and purpose amid the chaos? What if, by changing your perspective, even the most mundane actions could be elevated to the level of worship?

This is the power of the liturgical lens.

Section Three: Discipline your child as a disciple.

Ezekiel 34:12 says, “As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep.”

Shepherding is an obvious analogy regarding parental discipline. But it only paints part of the picture. Our children need more than just effective oversight – they need discipline as discipleship.

Section Four: Prioritize marital love and connection.

Marriage and family are a beautiful paradox. On one hand, they bring immense joy and fulfillment. But on the other hand, the day-to-day work of running a household can be tough.

The strength of marriage and family lies not in the work we do but in the love we share. This love is not a fleeting feeling. It’s a covenant love – a promise to love and care for one another despite the costs. Covenant love comes with an unbreakable promise: that you’ll stick together for better or worse. So why not reinforce this love through habit?

Section Five: Teach your children the spiritual value of work.

Have you ever found yourself trying to complete a task while your child eagerly watches? Children have a natural desire to be included, to feel like they matter. Teaching your children age-appropriate tasks early in life helps them develop crucial skills and makes them feel like valued team members – a feeling they’ll carry throughout their life.

Of course, there’s a big difference between asking a toddler to help you in the kitchen and asking a teen to clean their room. Older children often view work as a chore stripped of spiritual dignity. So, what can you do to change this?

Section Six: Find holy habits in playtime.

A burning bush. The trumpets of the Angels. Rainbows encircling God’s throne.

Christianity thrives on imagination. After all, according to God’s story, we were created for another world. Stories give children a glimpse of God’s Kingdom. They also hold wisdom and truths that are just waiting to be discovered. So why not help your children by making stories a part of your daily routine?

Final Summary

Running a household is about creating and maintaining routines and habits. But don’t let that overwhelm you – instead, follow God's lead. Consider morning routines, mealtimes, and household chores as opportunities for worship. And the best part? When you put your role as a child of God first and trust in His guidance, parenting becomes easier and more fulfilling. Instead of trying to do it alone, let God lighten your load and bring deeper meaning to everyday life.

❤️ für Blinkist️️️

Ich bin begeistert. Ich liebe Bücher aber durch zwei kleine Kinder komme ich einfach nicht zum Lesen. Und ja, viele Bücher haben viel bla bla und die Quintessenz ist eigentlich ein Bruchteil.

Genau dafür ist Blinkist total genial! Es wird auf das Wesentliche reduziert, die Blinks sind gut verständlich, gut zusammengefasst und auch hörbar! Das ist super. 80 Euro für ein ganzes Jahr klingt viel, aber dafür unbegrenzt Zugriff auf 3000 Bücher. Und dieses Wissen und die Zeitersparnis ist unbezahlbar.

Extrem empfehlenswert. Statt sinnlos im Facebook zu scrollen höre ich jetzt täglich zwischen 3-4 "Bücher". Bei manchen wird schnelle klar, dass der Kauf unnötig ist, da schon das wichtigste zusammen gefasst wurde..bei anderen macht es Lust doch das Buch selbständig zu lesen. Wirklich toll

Nils S.

Einer der besten, bequemsten und sinnvollsten Apps die auf ein Handy gehören. Jeden morgen 15-20 Minuten für die eigene Weiterbildung/Entwicklung oder Wissen.

Viele tolle Bücher, auf deren Kernaussagen reduziert- präzise und ansprechend zusammengefasst. Endlich habe ich das Gefühl, Zeit für Bücher zu finden, für die ich sonst keine Zeit habe.
