This document summarizes an article from the May 2012 issue of New City Magazine about making family time a priority on Sundays. It discusses how gathering for meals and conversation helps family members feel important and cared for. The author shares how their family continues the Sunday tradition of connecting even though one son lives abroad now, calling him each week to catch up. Nurturing special family times is recommended even as children grow older and busier.

Remember when family would gather on the weekends and mum or grandma would always bake the best
tasting roast ever and no one would miss it for anything? Family would sit around the table and talk, laugh, and

share life together. Call it old fashioned if you like but there is a truth and a secret here that I think we can all
learn from. Making time to gather as a family is important. So many family members are busy running off in all
different directions, or sitting in front of a television every night to eat meals so communication and good quality

For us family time is a Sunday, for you it might be another day, but Sundays work well because no one has to
rush off to work and it tends to be something that we all look forward to and try hard not to miss. One of our
sons is currently living in New Zealand doing a traineeship, so as a family we still include him in what we are H ow ard Zakari N aomi Brody Widy a
doing by phoning him every Sunday afternoon at a set time – each member of the family chats with him and
shares about their week, or funny things that may have happened and about life at home. He loves these times
because they help him to stay connected to us and home and for us to connect with him and all that he is doing

My husband and I have always nurtured these special
times in our children and now that they are all over 18
and lead busy lives they still love it and look forward ADVERTISING
to it. Mind you though I don’t cook a roast every
Sunday… but whatever it is we enjoy it together and
we spend time talking and sharing. Sometimes it’s just
fish and chips in the park but it sure is fun to share it
together because the conversation just flows so easily
and the love we hold for one another is reiterated and
strengthened. (DG)
