'becca’s Reviews > Strengthening Our Families: An In-Depth Look at the Proclamation on the Family > Status Update

'How we choose to spend out time is a moral decision that reflects our commitment to our marriage and our family. These decisions also influence our growth and development and the quality of our lives both here and hereafter.'

"Our sorrows and sacrifices 'carve and stretch' the 'caverns of feeling within our own hearts,' and as these caverns are enlarged 'they expand our soul's capacity for joy.'"

I can't tell you how helpful this is turning out to be. I am finding that a lot of my ways of thinking about life have been skewed. Quite a few things that the Lord's been trying to teach me through my life, and especially recently, are being made clearer. . . especially by this essay I just read. AMAZING book.

It is already pretty amazing.
