Having a close family, in my experience, all boils down to Family Culture. KC & I intentionally created a culture in our family that has become the foundation of who we all are: openness, honesty, owning our mistakes, confession & apologies, forgiveness, humor, fun idiocy, appreciation of one another, celebration of one another, laughter, loyalty...and so much more; all rooted in unconditional LOVE. Our kids (one or the other) have made pretty much every teenage error out there (& Ive cried buckets of tears in prayer) but weve kept open communication and walked through it with them with the wisdom God gives when we ask for it. Parenting is not for wimps, and SOLID parenting doesnt mean perfect kids. We all fail but family loves at all times (even if we dont always *like* each other). When it all hits the fan, we have each others backs. And that all started when they were just lil sprouts and we were young inexperienced parents. LOTS OF PRAYER & LOADS OF GRACE #Ohana means no one gets left behind. Its not too late to create your own intentional family culture!! The payoffs are off the charts blessings & a close knit tribe!! ❤️#dothehardthings #TeamMorrow ❤️
