The Importance of Family

The NYFPC believes the family is the building block of our society. While in prayer, one of our Board members was impressed with the following statement: "There is no future without the family." The Board was so impressed with the statement that we decided to put it on the bumper sticker we are designing to advertise our website. Family is where it all happens and without it society ceases to exist.

On the Presidential Prayer Team website I found the following quote from a commencement address Barbara Bush gave to Wellesley College Graduates in 1990. I want to pass it along because it harmonizes so well with the NYFPC's view of the importance of the family:
~
"At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict or not closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child or a parent. Fathers and mothers, if you have children, they must come first. You must read to your children, you must hug your children, you must love your children. Your success as a family . . . our success as a society . . . depends not on what happens in the White House, but on what happens inside your house."

Kudos to Barbara. She really has a grasp of what really matters. However, what happens in the White House is important to us at NYFPC, too.
