God's Spirit nourishes our spirit when we consciously become part of His conduit of love. Parents, whether both present in the home or not, are firmly committed to parenting all offspring. A family has unity, not necessarily uniformity. Members can be counted on when needed, to reach out and help. Everyone shares in family responsibilities as they are able.
Parents pass on their roots, regularly celebrating their heritage.
A family has vision and plans for the future. Re-creating family bonds of love takes our willingness and God's power. When we admit to destructive family patterns and choose to change, family skeletons are put to rest. If you'd like to blot out some stains in your family tapestry before the coming holidays, now is the time to begin. Name the positive things that you want to replace the old smudges.
