Family Reunion Quotes To Live By - Part 1

Wondering how to empower the family? Here are some tried, tested and true words to live by.

My granddaughter licked her candy apple until it was oozing with spittle. She then pushed the dripping wet treat to my mouth. About to say "no thank you sweety" I suddenly realized that I would miss out on an ideal opportunity to show deep gratitude and appreciation for her creative expression of affection through giving. I immediately thanked her and took a lick and a bite of the apple. Then I hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Needless to say, she shared her sticky treat right down to the last bite. Lesson learned!

Did you know that creative expressions of innocent filial affection teach your child the value of kindness, giving and gratitude? We teach our children how to be considerate and thoughtful by example. In turn, they develop a sense of responsibility based on appreciation and gratitude for what you give them including all your hard work. They grow up to be more supportive and are often there when you need them.

Spread the word. Have a family reunion. Teach the younger generation how to creatively express gratitude and appreciation and show others how to graciously accept.  It will go a long way toward building up the household and empowering the family.

Learn the simple steps of planning your reunion.

Making Change The Essence of Life

As the season transitions from one to the other, we are reminded of the need to prepare for change. Just as all seasons are uniquely beautiful in their own way, change can be a turning point in a direction that gives you a closer look and a better perspective on a part of life you never knew existed.

Embrace change and adjust to the transition your mind and body are making. Give it what it requires and you may find that in some ways you are better, wiser and healthier than you have ever been.

Help your parents with their life's transition. Sometimes all that is needed is to be there. Help them feel included in your activities even if it means just telling them a lively and funny story to perk them up and showing them the photos you took just for them. Help them look at life from their new perspective. Learn what it feels like to be in their shoes. Empathize and most of all keep a healthy sense of humor.

Family Reunion Poem "The Essence of Life"

"As the crown turns gray, the family makes them silver and snow white.
 As the pages of life yellow, the family makes them golden.
 As their memories fade, the family makes them crisp and sharp.
 As the legs give way, the family sits them on a throne of wheels.
 As youth recedes, family helps us relive it through the eyes of a
 newborn.
 The Family is the essence of life. The more you love it,
 the more life loves you back."

By Mark Angelo Askew

The family is the essence of life. The more you love it, the more life loves you back.
Celebrate your family. Family reunions set the spark of life aflame once again.

A big fat family reunion photo shoot. 

You know you're getting old when you stoop to tie your shoes and wonder what else you can do while you're still down there.

Families are like fudge .. mostly sweet with a few nuts.

“I’m here to talk about our family, but you know what they say, 'If you can't say something nice...' so, thank you all for coming!"

When your kids grandparents tell you to go easy on the kids like they were easy on you -it's not wisdom, age or experience. It's senility.

What do you call it when you have to run around with one foot in a sack, a spoon with an egg in your hand, and an apple in your mouth? A family reunion relay race.

My family is like trail mix. You got your raisins, dates and a variety of nuts.

The reason grandchildren and grandparents get along so well is that they have a common enemy.

The real reason grandparents like to stop to admire the flowers, gaze at the sky, and chat with the neighbors while taking a walk is not because they are sweet, kind and love nature. It's because if they didn't stop now and then they would run out of breath trying to keep up with their grandchildren.

My grandfather walked for miles when he was 60... Now he's 97 years old and we still haven't found him yet.

I overheard my father say to my mother... "I like YOUR mother-in-law better than I like mine.” 

Grandparents can do amazing tricks their children cannot do. They can make their teeth  disappear. They can make things look ten times bigger than they are. They can tell you things about your parents no one else knows. They can read your mind and tell you just what you are thinking before you go and do something really stupid. 

There goes another apple falling from the family tree.

My parents finally confessed that I was adopted. They said, "But the adoption didn't work out, They brought you back."

The real reason grandparents move to Florida is to escape babysitting.

Where would we be if it weren't for family?

FAMILY POEMS

Like eagles we fly, glide and soar

Like whales we swim the vast ocean floor

When we've swum further than we have before

Family pulls us safely back to shore

Where's the best place to be when you skin your knee? 

In grandma's lap 
or grandpa's knee. 
There is no place else I'd rather be
than dangling from my family tree.
