"A Family Is...
Is a rooted tree with branches of different strengths all receiving nourishment from an infinite source.
Is where charter is formed, Values are learned, ethics are created, and society is preserved.
Is where all members contribute and share, cooperate, and work, and accept their responsibilities toward the good of the group.
Is where holidays are celebrated with feasting. Birthdays acknowledged with gifts and thoughts of days gone by kept alive with fond remembrances.
Is where each can find solace and comfort in grief. Pleasure and laughter in joy and kindness and encouragement in daily living.
Is a haven of rest. A sanctuary of peace and most of all a Harbor of Love.
By Manny Feldman
The family is the foundation upon which our culture and society are based. To have a good foundation there must be solid values that the foundation can rest upon. These values are
Ability to listen
Ability to be honest
Ability to think and live positively
Ability to plan ahead
Ability to express love
If these values are the foundation. Then surley it must be a woman who is the cornerstone for she must be the one to teach and strengthen these values if the foundation is to remain solid. It is only with these values passed on that the family can remain strong.
