I don’t know if you are like me, but on the weekends where our family has a long drive ahead, I tend to cringe. The are we there yet?‘s always seem to make their way into the conversation. How about this? Next time, play the game “Fortunately, Unfortunately.”
The first person starts out by telling something good—“Fortunately, I found a little dog on our doorstep.” Then the next person must continue by adding something bad—“Unfortunately, the dog belonged to a 7 foot troll who thought I stole his dog.” Then the next person must continue by starting with “Fortunately . . .” End the story on a “Fortunately!” (The more crazy and creative the story the better!)
This game is meant to remind each of us that God loves to turn things out for our good, even bad things!
