How to strengthen the family

In my family I try to give every family member at least 5 minutes of solid eye contact and listening. Weekly, we have a family night to either spend time playing games or religious instruction. Monthly my husband and I have a date. At least twice a year we take a trip together.

Little Girls Gotta Know

After a teacher was arrested at my daughter's school for inappropriate behavior with a student, every parent had to sit down with their child to explain the situation and tell him or her how to handle a bad situation. This song expresses my feelings about that conversation.

You are Loved

You Are Loved

The only word I know is sorrow. The only thing I feel is pain! When a child looks into my eyes and wonders: Do you care as much as you proclaim?

I say,

Chorus: “You are loved. You are loved. No matter the questions, no matter the pain. You are loved. You are loved. Peace be unto you.”

It’s true there are those that are not kind. It’s true there are those that hate. In spite of the hurt that they cause you, remember this simple phrase.

Chorus: “You are loved. You are loved. No matter the questions, no matter the pain. You are loved. You are loved. Peace be unto you.”

I’ve been hurt before and it’s not fair. I’ve hurt others too I admit. But if things are to change on this planet we can’t let anyone forget that:

Chorus: “You are loved. You are loved. No matter the questions, no matter the pain. You are loved. You are loved. Peace be unto you.”

You’ll stand before God on that fateful day. Your heart full of awe and of fear. With a tear in His eye He will whisper the words which you longed to hear, that

Chorus: “You are loved. You are loved. No matter the questions, no matter the pain. You are loved. You are loved. Peace be unto you.”
