My Good Friend Kristy posted this quote in a past comment. It is worth repeating.
"The poorest shack in which love prevails over a united family is of
greater value to God and future humanity than any other riches. In such
a home God can work miracles and will work miracles."
-David O. Mackay
I had a teenager over the other day to help out with a project of mine and get some service learning hours for her class at school. As she was leaving, she gave me a huge compliment. She told me she really liked the feeling in my home and it seemed we all liked each other and got along well.
I loved hearing that.
That is what I'm really trying to achieve. She so graciously looked past the clutter of school papers to be signed, the spit up stain on my shirt and the smudge marks on the wall to notice the feelings we enjoy together as a family. It made my day!
