Why God Made Families

When creation was finished, each star in its place,

God cradled the earth in His thoughtful embrace,

And knowing that there would be problems to face, 

His wonderful plan came to be...

For he wanted His children to learn to be strong,

And not become frightened if things should go wrong, 

So He placed in each heart a desire to belong 

Somewhere they felt needed, yet free...

Then He added acceptance and patience and trust, 

Love that was selfless and caring and just, 

Where questions were welcome and laughter a must...

And He called His great gift…

"Family”.
