 Do you think strong families are connected with the others in community?

                           

COMMUNITY AND FAMILY TIES

Strong families draw on other people and institutions for support. If they have a hard time dealing with a problem, they are willing to seek outside help. Strong families also tend to be closely involved with the schools, and local organizations that promote the well-being of the community and the individual.

No family is an island. Strong families stay in touch with friends and relatives, are friendly with neighbours, and are willing to help others in time of need. They also admit problems and are willing to reach out to professionals and other for help.

Strong families are connected to others in the community. They don't stand alone. You will find such families closely involved with extended families and friends, schools, churches, and local organizations that promote the well-being of individuals and communities. Parents support groups that help develop and educate their children.

Translate the poem by Craig E. Sathoff

Family Ties

Yes, I believe in family ties

That flourish strong and pure,

That thrive in fond togetherness,

That help and mend and cure.

 

I cherish so the gatherings

That come with holidays,

The special times before the meals

When voices blend in praise.

And I believe in family fun.

In picnics, hikes and ball,

In barbecues in summertime

And lamb when roasted in fall.

 

Yes, I believe in fellowship

Because I realize

That keys to peace and happiness

Are found in family ties.

Read and decide whether you have got a

                        strong spiritual base?                                    

 

SPIRITUALITY

Spirituality is believing in a higher power and acting on a value system beyond self-interest. It provides a sense of purpose and support in everyday life and during difficult times. Spirituality offers a belief system that teaches how to have healthy relationships within the family and with others. A strong spiritual base:

· Provides a sense of love and being loved. It can improve your self-image.

· Provides a way to deal with successes and failures in relationships with family, friends and others. It teaches us to seek forgiveness when we have wronged another and learn to forgive when we have been wronged.

· Provides the comfort and feeling that our lives are part of a higher purpose.

Spirituality provides tools and models for building good relationships in the family. It is a key element in establishing strong caring families.

Healthy families live by the golden rule, treating others as they would have others treat them. Many strong families read inspirational books and value activities such as raying, singing and meditating. They share similar values and feel a guiding force in their lives.

 
 Spirituality can be summarized in the following. Translate the reading.

“ONE”

One SMILE begins a friendship

One STAR can guide a ship at sea

One WORD can cheer you up

One CANDLE wipes out darkness

One SONG can change the mood

One BIRD can sound like springtime

One VOTE can change a nation

One LAUGH can conquer sadness

One HEART can know what is true

One TOUCH can show you care

One HOPE can lift your spirits

One LIFE can make a difference

One STEP must start each journey

One FRIEND can share your pain

One VOICE can speak with wisdom

One FLOWER can brighten the day

One TREE can start a forest.
