Proper communication will always be a main ingredient for building family solidarity and permanence.

The world is filled with too many of us who are inclined to indicate our love with an announcement or declaration. True love is a process. True love requires personal action. Love must be continuing to be real. Love takes time.

God's love for us is constant and will not diminish, but he cannot rescue us from the painful results that are caused by wrong choices.

Pleasure usually takes the form of me and now; joy is us and always.

Once upon hearing a friend's bashing comment I said, "Did you reach that conclusion on your own, or did it come through prayer?"

Sometimes when family members least deserve love, they need it most. Love is not appropriately expressed in threats, accusations, expressions of disappointment, or retaliation. Real love takes time, patience, help, and continuing performances.

Adaptability cushions the impact of change or disappointment.
