Editor's Note
“Family is important because it provides love, support and a framework of values to each of its members. Family members teach each other, serve one another and share life’s joys and sorrows. Families provide a setting for personal growth. Family is the single most important influence in a child’s life.”
Life has brought many challenges to my life but, no matter what the circumstance, I’ve always found encouragement through reading books and articles. This is why I love to write! Topics are unlimited, and I enjoy creating short, informative articles that help families through all stages of life. We lead busy lives and, among this hustle and bustle, it’s nice to stop and read something that fills us with hope and joy. Our goal is to help inspire families and present material that benefits all ages. As always we love and value your feedback and hope you are uplifted by these articles.
