Building Healthy Families This week, pay attention to your spouse, your child, your parent or your friend. Notice when they are getting tired or drained of energy. Then give them a word of support, a compliment, or a helping hand. Speak encouraging words to one another. Build up hope so you'll all be together in this, no one left out, no one left behind. I know you're already doing this; just keep on doing it.” I Thessalonians 5:11
