CULTURE, AND CLASS

        This week I learned a most valuable lesson. When we talk about race, culture, class, and all these things having an equal part in pulling families apart and giving them a hard time; we neglect to mention how our hearts and minds, and Christ can bring us together in spite of those things and make us stronger than we ever would have been on our own.  A family can stay together no matter how many different races or low of income they may have. This week I learned that if I care enough and my husband cares enough, then culture, race, and class will not a be a struggle in our home. Will it come up now and again, or course it will, but once you are aware that it may cause an issue or strife in the family it’s easier to tackle. And you come out caring and loving for your family more than you ever did before. The problem is that many of us don't learn this thing early enough, and it begins pulling the family apart. Even if we live in a family of all the same race, we still need to teach out children about other good things when it comes to races and cultures, so then they will be prepared to stand up knowing that we all are children of God even with our differences.
