FAM ILY VALUES By St eph an ie L. M axw ell-Robles Family Values...does your family have them? It is important to understand how values outlined as a set of rules and expectations impact our world and society. At best, family value is the underlining core and principals associated with living in a thriving, healthy, and satisfying world. We create value everyday. From the things we say to people, from the way we treat them, etc. Value determines something's worth. It determines how we hold that something in our precious little hands to mirror or marvel at. Value is ultimately what Jesus Christ did when he died on the cross showing and giving us the mind set that life matters, your life matters, and the way we treat people in this life time matters. Value is a measure of importance that we place upon a thing. How you value life will determine how you live it. If you value education , you will obtain it. If you value work, you will obtain employment. Values in life determine and set the structure of how our families will operate, also. Clear and distinct values are necessary for a thriving and successful culture. We must have an atmosphere of mutual respect to see each other's point of view and determine which is the best course of action to take. Wisdom will carry you a long way. If it is not demonstrated, it will not be obtained. We must teach our children the value of life through our values. Each life matter's and represents a fundamental unit in the grand scope of Gods will and purpose here on earth. Treat your family with regard, and love. Define what is important for you and your family and place it on your wall so that each parent, child, and additional family see what is important. "Train a child up in the way he should go, and when he isold, he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6 (KJV) This message is so very important as it equates to the measure of wealth that is instilled in a child during the development process of the early years. We must teach our children this early. Value.
