Family Reflection Video: Life is an Incredible Show!

It’s a standard equation: Happiness = Many Family Mistakes + Countless Forgiveness. Will you answer the call to forgive “Not only seven times, but seventy-seven times?”

Family is the greatest enterprise in the world and one of the many blessings God has given us. But there will inevitably be hardships. As a family, find strength in forgiveness during the storms of life and boldly choose to love one another.

When you make a mistake or somebody hurts you, start over again and choose to air on the side of love; for genuine love is the greatest measure of forgiveness. Reflect with your family about the importance of forgiveness. Is a lack of forgiveness preventing happiness in your family?

May your life become a garden of opportunities for happiness and forgiveness.
