Thank You!

Thank You! I am glad that you and your family completed this activity
workbook together. I really hope this activity workbook has helped to
strengthen and restore communication within your family. In the
Introduction on page 6, the importance of holistic parenting, holistic
relationships and the importance of healthy family communication is
necessary.

To show my gratitude, you have certificate of achievement on the next

Family Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for family. Without a strong family, there is
division and there is nothing holistic about it. Lord, we need you to keep
every family daily in this ever-changing world. Lord, you said if we cast our
cares upon you, you would fix any negative situation that may try to come
our way. Lord, only you are a provider, heart fixer and a mind regulator.
Strengthen every family that needs strength. Lord, help every parent to be
what you desire them to be. Lord, help every parent to be a holistic parent
and nurture their child(ren) as they should. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
Amen. Amen.
