Family provides for growth of soul.

The family unit is a great crucible that provides a springboard for the growth of your soul. All that your soul needs begins with the family. It extends outward. When there are difficulties, one learns to accommodate. One learns what it means to compromise. One learns to respect another point of view. One learns above all the imperfection of life.

You cannot expect your experiences on earth to be characterized with constant perfection, for that is not the nature of life. You grow through your adjustment to imperfection, adjustment to your own imperfection and the imperfection of others. With that adjustment evolves a sense of patience, of tolerance, and from that tolerance ultimately grows the affirmation of another’s value.
