The Miracles

I want to share a link to a wonderful site that documents a daily struggle of a lady who was nearly burned to death in a plane crash. The recent post, "Three years of miracles and counting" gives due time to the joy and exuberance, though that is only one side of the coin of daily struggle this family has gone through.

This is a perfect example of the kind of sacrifice, love, tolerance, and devotion that marriage should teach everyone. There is no denying those traits are needed outside of marriage also, but isn't it wonderful that the lesson for these children is happening right in their own home. There is no denying lessons like this are available in every home, and should be sought for by the two people in the marriage. And, finally, there is no denying that the most ready path to take to find these lessons is by understanding the responsibility you and your spouse share with the children you created together. Nothing points you to the need to learn the lessons of love, devotion, and tolerance more than the weight of the responsibility you have with them primarily.

These are the benefits of marriage which government cannot provide, but they can point us to by recognizing that primary rights and responsibilities of how families are naturally created, and nurtured. Everything else, our understanding of many other relationship types to the most important impact we can have on the future, flows from that fountain of life.
