Things To Believe In

Holy Mama got me started thinking about some of the things I absolutely believe in.  From some of the comments on her post that day, I suspect she jogged several bloggers' thoughts.  So, here's my list:

• I believe in the absolute inerrancy of the Word of God.
• I believe that a good hug at the right time is better than a whole mouthful of words.
• I believe it is possible to feel and hear angels' wings.
• I believe that the smile of a grand child is absolutely priceless.
• I believe that the unity of a husband and wife grows with every struggle they face together.
• I believe moms and daughters can be friends, but not while the daughter is still a child.
• I believe that boys are born knowing how to torment the females in their lives.
• I believe that brothers and sisters can form a bond that cannot be broken even by death.
• I believe that some sisters-in-law were truly meant to be sisters.
• I believe that I can hear the Voice of God if I can just make myself be still long enough to listen.
• I believe that you can have friends that are 30 years younger (or older) than you.
• I believe that a card or note in the mail can cheer someone much longer than a text or phone call.
• I believe in the weight of a good book.
• I believe in sitting and really looking at the stars/birds/flowers/river.
• I believe a good laugh really is better than medicine.
• I believe in the humor that can only be found among close friends and family.
• I believe a dog in your life makes your life richer.
• I believe in not only having biological children, but in adopting (officially and unofficially) the ones God puts in your life.
• I believe in praying for anyone that is important to you.
• I believe in accepting the answers to prayer even when it's not what you expected.
• I believe in celebrating big and little events in your children's and grand children's lives.
• I believe in helping people out even when it feels like you may be intruding.
• I believe in staying in touch with family as much as possible.
• I believe that forgiving doesn't necessarily mean forgetting, but it does mean putting the gun down.
• I believe in the fun of creating with my sewing machine.
• I believe that to truly teach someone, you have to let them see in to your life.

I believe in a whole lot more, but I think I've been wordy enough for this post.  You all will get the idea.  I'd love to read some of your beliefs when you get time to post them.
