Yes, I think you're so right that family needs to come first, in fact always, I'd say.<br /><br />I'm glad you're mentioning this because after I posted, I thought, Oh I wish I'd said more about family.

We are not a good witness or encouragement if our family is falling apart!<br />And an aside, now you'll be the same age as me! :)<br />~Karen_https://www.blogger.com/profile/06141278589206458687noreply@blogger.com
