It Takes Courage
It takes Courage to care about each member of the family and the struggles they face!
It takes Courage to care about friends and the daily test they encounter. To let them know you will stand by them through each struggle.
It takes Courage to complete each commitment you make toward others.
It takes Courage to confront the weaknesses in your life and be willing to address needed changes
It takes Courage to confess your thoughtless words or neglectful actions toward a person you love.
It takes Courage to proclaim your faith and convictions to people who are judgmental.
It takes Courage to live each day with Integrity.
It takes Courage to respect others when others show little or no respect for you!
It takes Courage to focus on what remains rather than what you’ve lost
It takes Courage once you recognize that life is a test and your willing to accept the everyday challenges.
