“As we try to change, we will discover within us a fierce struggle between our loyalty to that battle-scarred victim of his own childhood, our father, and the father we want to be.

“It is very important that children learn from their fathers and mothers how to love one another- not in the school, not from the teacher, but from you.

“To overcome prejudice, we can boldly speak against it and teach our children total intolerance for it.

“It is very, very rare where a slight that turns into a grudge that is in need of forgiveness is only about one of the parties. In most of our day-to-day situations - with colleagues at work, with your partner, with your children, with your friends - most of the time, if you really got down with each other and put aside your pride and your defensiveness and you had those hard conversations, you'd find a place where both people had something to ask for forgiveness from the other and to forgive the other.” PeopleChildrenPartySituationPrideOur ChildrenForgivingYour ChildrenGrudgeAsking For ForgivenessDefensiveness Author:Elizabeth Lesser
“I believe that the most urgent need of parents today is to instill in our children a moral vision: what does it mean to be a good person, an excellent neighbor, a compassionate heart? What does it mean to say that God exits, that He loves us and He cares for us? What does it mean to love and forgive each other? Parents and caregivers of children must play a primary role in returning our society to a healthy sense of the sacred. We must commit to feeding our children’s souls in the same way we commit to feeding their bodies.” WayNeedsBelieveHeartMeanChildrenPersonsDoeSoulPlayBodyCareTodayI BelieveParentMoralVisionRolesHealthyOur ChildrenSacredForgivingNeighborCommitPrimariesExcellentOur SocietyCompassionateFeedingUrgentGood PersonExitInstillBeing A Good PersonCaregivers Author:Marianne Williamson

“Forgive a wife-slammer if you can. But you don't have to live with him. Forgive a husband who is abusing your children if you can. But only after you kick him out of the house. And if you can't get him out, get help. It's available. In the meantime, don't let him near the kids, and don't let anyone tell you that if you forgive him it means you have to stay with him.
