Main topic:

Eight Reasons Families Are Important:

  • Source of Joy and friendship
  • Classroom- where each participant learns and teaches love and service
  • Belonging- they are your original tribe
  • Honesty- to a fault
  • Forgive- we are all in the same boat
  • Generosity
  • Communication- modeling and safety
  • Responsibility- we all pitch in

My family is awesome- we have ups, we have downs and I am sure this week with all of us hanging out together it may get a little crowded and tense at times but we love each other.

Quote of the week: “We put our love where we put our labor.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
