Ingredients for a healthy family....

AHHH!!!! I have to start a new blog space because I can't get into my old one.....so here goes.
Last night at homegroup we came up with some key ingredients for a healthy 'family'...church family that is. Actually I started out asking what everyone thought would be the ingredients for a healthy natural family, knowing it would fit the criteria for a body of believers. This is what we came up with...
love, acceptance, provision, patience, comradrie, protection,
godly, good examples, friendly, encouragement, fun, correction, laughter, values, co-operation, leadership, communication, unity, understanding, respect, involvement, selflessness,
trust, exhortation, devotion/loyalty, discipline/training, sacrificial
Not an exhaustive list but sure a good start. Of course the ingredient amounts will vary but should all be present in healthy doses, don't you think?!
