The Domestic Church

My parents, from the beginning of my life, have instilled in me a faith that I can build the rest of my life confidently on. As a family, we are always supportive of each other and I can depend on my entire family for love. Last year, my dad decided it was time to change jobs. He took as job in Staten Island. He commutes every day and this means that we do not see him nearly as much as we used to. It reminded my sister and me how important our time with him is. We became much closer even though we spend less time together. Life is changing and marriage is changing right along with it. Before, many people had the same job their entire life. No many families have one parent traveling often or the whole family moving because of new jobs. This can put a major stress on all parts of those relationships.  Like Parenthood illustrated life can be difficult to handle if you do not have people there to support you. Luckily for me, I know my family will always be there for me and that in hard situations I can always turn to prayer. I see how much my parents love each other and truly want the best for us as a family and because of the knowledge and beliefs they have passed on to me, I want to eventually establish the domestic church in my own home.
