• Praying Together: Prayer as a family is a good way to deepen bonds and build a strong sense of relationship and connection. Even the Holy Books have made it clear the reasons for praying together and the advantages. When families have time to pray together, it provides them the chance to focus on what is necessary and to express the heart of gratitude to our creator for the good things of life. It also enhances spiritual growth and a great channel for strength during difficult situations. Praying can take many forms from devotion, saying grace to mealtimes or even taking a moment of silence. This was a major routine for my family while I was growing up and so will I take up that act....
