Family Value

One of the greatest attraction of the Catholic faith, Christianity as a whole, is its great family value. God as head of every home- and the Holy Family, Mary, Joseph and the Holy Infant Jesus. And that calls for love and mutual respect within the family unit-the practice of putting their trust and faith in God in everything they do.The concept that the family that prays together, stays together. The family who looks to God for guidance, grows in faith and family harmony and that will include honouring Father and mother; an institution that loves and respect their elders and in turn earn the respect and love of their children and that tradition and culture will be passed on from generations to generations and gather strength.
.
Yours truly, firmly believes that faith moulds the character of children and keep their paths straight, that they not only grow up with clear insights what they should do in life but they become cherish and useful members of home, society and community.
.
Question is, will children continue to keep God in their hearts and soul and will Church remain a valued part of our children's lives?? It is so sad to see good family values fading away. Church has become unfashionable in the Western world, will that darkness influenced our children in the future ??? People! let us at least try to prevent the rot, let us give faith and good character formation as gifts to our children. Let us keep the image of the Holy Family shining in our homes to instill family values in the hearts and minds of our children. Believe me, the world will be a better place to live in, if each and every parent does their part.
