The family is the corner stone of our society.  More than any other force, it shapes the attitude, the hopes, the ambitions, and the values of the child.  And when the family collapses it is the children that are usually damaged.  When it happens on a massive scale the community itself is crippled. So, unless we work to strengthen the family, to create conditions under which most parents will stay together, all the rest — schools, playgrounds, and public assitance, and private concern — will never be enough.       --Lyndon Baines Johnson

Guiding Scripture:
 
The aged women likewise, that they be in behavior as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.  
~The Holy Bible, Titus 2: 3-6
 
Many of us have been impacted by an aged woman who guided and made us better people.  Download and edit the special certificate below and say thank-you to the Titus 2 woman in your life.

Family Check Up
Take a minute to think about how well you're doing as a parent, spouse, or friend.  Don't be afraid to ask yourself about common complaints that you get from others.  Are you OK with it?  Do you hold up your end of relationships?  Take the checkup and decide how to improve.
