7 Great Quotes About Family
Built on a strong foundation of care and trust, families have the opportunity to fill the world around them with love. As members of a family pour into each other, they find their own cups running over. Any blessing we receive is meant to be passed on to others.
Family is more than blood. Families are made of those who you welcome in, share “silent unspeakable memories” with, express vulnerability with, work to climb the highs and lows of life with, and who you love with all your heart.
Each moment is not perfect, because love is hard. Arguments arise, disagreements exist, and pain from the past has to be healed. It’s hard work, but it’s the most important workpart of life. This love extends far beyond the time spent together when children are young and into their whole lives.
