Rob Gilbert

AS parents work to keep pace with the growing demands of family life, it's important to know that we are not alone in our efforts. God, who is divine Love, is attentive and responsive to the needs of every member of the family.

No problem is too small and inconsequential, neither is any problem bigger than God's ability to meet it.
