“So often times we see these films that erode human dignity...films that deny the transcendent moral order of the moral universe. They're always eroding natural affections for families. Fathers betray their commitments, children's are always portrayed as brats and disobedient, marriages are always in crisis and struggle. I think (for) most of us, that's not the lives we live. We're always being challenged, we always have challenges but we love our families, we love our spouse, we love our children.” ThinkingHumansChildrenFilmOrderUniverseFatherNaturalChallengesMoralStruggleCommitmentDignityOur ChildrenCrisisAffectionDenyOur FamilyBetraySpouseTranscendentHuman DignityErodeBratLove Our ChildrenLove Our Family Author:Jason Jones

“I have learned from experience that happiness is an acquired skill. Children are one of the greatest lessons in happiness, constantly challenging us to enjoy the moment, as the next one will not be the same. Gratitude is essential to happiness.

Happiness is a muscle we must use, or it will wither away.” ChildrenMomentsUseHappinessNextEnjoyChallengesWalksExistenceGratitudeLessonsBedSkillsEssentialsEssenceBreathsOur ChildrenMusclesI Have LearnedDeep BreathThe Next OneTake A Deep Breath Author:Marianne Williamson
