#4 The Value of Family
The value of family! We are so blessed in our family to have three beautiful daughters, three handsome sons-in-law, two wonderful grandsons and one amazing granddaughter! We gather frequently for family meals, outings, trips, sporting events and church. Holidays are always a wonderful time of spending time with one another.
As I watch my daughters hang out with each other, it blesses me to know they have a bond, a love for each other that is unusual, that will hold them together long after Nancy and I are gone from this world. To live our lives and model love of family, and hold that as a cherished value is one of the most prized works and fruit of our lives!
At the heart of any civilized society, family has to be valued and highly esteemed, because all of the other values flow out of family! I have observed family gatherings how the girls and their mother plan, execute and genuinely enjoy being around each other! When everything is said and done, it is our family who gathers around our bedside to strengthen and hold each other through all of life's moments.
Cherish your family, and leave nothing unsaid or undone. Daily encourage each other and find simple ways to demonstrate how valuable each of you are to each other. Passionately pursue making sure all of your family relationships are right in every way! We value family!
