In these days of extensive building, everyone wants to have a dream house. Beginning with a good architect and plan, the foundations like those in the photo have to be strong, the materials durable, the workmanship neat.

Yet every house builder knows that there is always something more to do, something to add, to fix, to change. A house is always unfinished business.

"Home" building has the same challenges. With God as the architect, the family has the best design upon which to build. The foundations are unconditional love and mutual respect.

The materials for good relationships are dialogue, the willingness to celebrate successes and to forgive hurts, to change and to adapt as the family grows. And every "home" builder knows that it is always unfinished business.
