Even the world around us recognizes the value of family strength. In an article in the Wall Street Journal this weekend, journalist and former presidential speechwriter Peggy Noonan noted:

And people want to belong to something. If you’re a vibrant member of a church in America, or a casual member of a vibrant church, you’re part of something. If you’re a member of a family that’s together, you are part of something. A lot of Americans do not have these two things. (Emphasis added.)

If you are a part of a family that is together, praise God. You enjoy a rare blessing.
