Taking time out with your family is crucial. Alison and I made a decision many years ago that we would invest in our family holidays. One of our goals has always been to create good memories for our children and so we targeted our family holidays. As much as we tithe, give offering, pay a mortgage and household bills, vehicle running costs, DIY etc each month, we set aside a sum for our holidays. And by the way never touch it! This way we have always been able to plan our holidays and pay for everything in cash! I encourage you to think about doing this.
We had two weeks in Crete and loved the island and the people. There were many things for us to do, but as all of you know with children, a pool or the sea is enough. Kids just love water! Mind you, so do I. We spent hours snorkeling together.
We tried to catch fish, collect shells and rocks from the bottom, played games, swam out to sea, ducked each other and the main thing we laughed so much. Memories we all will never forget. I could go on and on with stories from my holiday that will remain with us for years to come...Sweet memories.
I once heard someone say, 'Good memories are like a hot water bottle on a cold night, you have just got to hug them'. I for one believe it and want to encourage you all to think about creating good memories for your family. Creating memories is an investment you will never regret. Holidays are only one way to do this and it doesn't have to cost that much either.
Come on, get those creative juices flowing and don't just sit about waiting for something to happen, make it happen!
Creating memories is an investment you will never regret.
