What makes a family strong, healthy, and happy? Being a healthy family is more than being without problems; strong families have lots of problems--just like everyone else. Strong families know about trouble. To be a strong family is not to be without challenges. It is much, much more; it is the presence of guidelines for living and the ability to surmount life's inevitable challenges when they arise. Strong families are pleasant, positive places to live because members have learned some beneficial ways of treating each other. Family members can count on each other for support, love, and loyalty. They can talk to each other; they enjoy each other. Members of strong families feel good about themselves as a family unit or team; they have a sense of belonging with each other--a sense of we. At the same time, no individual gets lost or smothered; each family member is encouraged to develop his or her own potential. Potter's Wheel Ministries believes in the importance of families and therefore, endeavors to help develop every family in the wisdom and counsel of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
