I had an interesting experience last weekend that caused me to reflect on family relationships. After spending several days feeling desperately sad about the tendency of some families to break each other down, I have renewed my commitment to not let this happen in mine. I have come up with a new mantra for myself: our family is a safe place.
That my kids will never know a parent who tears them down, a sibling who condescends, or a dictatorial spouse is my deepest hope and prayer. That our home will provide unending love and hope and respect to all is the biggest accomplishment I ever hope to make.

This is beautiful Kriste and I couldn't agree more. There are several places that I feel like we should all feel safe, such as school, church and home. But, I am learning that the only one that is really safe is home and you are right...we have the ability to make our homes the safe places they should be! Thank you so much for the reminder of how important this is to not only our kids, but to us as adults as well! Love you!
