Let's Thank Our Families Today - Monday's MotivateUs Quote of the Day

Published: Tue, 04/21/20

Hi ,

It's Tuesday,

April 21, 2020.

"We all have an unsuspected reserve of strength inside that emerges when life puts us to the test."
--- Isabel Allende

What Is A Family? 'Family' is a single word, with many different meanings. People have many ways of defining a family and what being a part of a family means to them. Families differ in terms of economic, cultural, social, and many other facets, but what every family has in common is that the people who call it a family are making clear that those people are important in some way to the person calling them his family. - Michelle Blessing

Today let's thank our families. Maybe we are all clustered together or maybe we are in different parts of the world. No matter what or where they are we love those we call family. How you and your "family" are coping either makes your life easier or a bit harder.

I have a few resources to help everyone of all ages - if you need them.

There is beauty, kindness, goodness and love alive with our families. Soak it in, feel the positive energy, then give some back to others.

We're all in this together. Let's make today a great day and tomorrow too. Pray for those on the front lines and be thankful for everything, no matter what.

Have a blessed day and stay safe!

Love,
Marlene
