Charity is refusing to take advantage of another’s weakness and being willing to forgive someone who has hurt us. Charity is expecting the best of each other”

We must not only teach our children true principles but 'bring them up' surrounded by and immersed in light and truth.

Indeed, our children learn who God is and what he is like by the way that we treat them.
