Family Love on Which to Build

Duration: 365 days

August 16

I believe that if it is desirable for children to be kind, appreciative, and pleasant, those qualities should be taught—not hoped for. –The New Dare to Discipline

Let not your adornment be merely external…but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. (1Peter 3:3-4 NASB)
