If you will answer the question: ‘what matters most in your life,’ what would be your answer?

One of my many blessings in life is that God provided me with a good set of in-laws. My husband’s kind and patient mother and his set of fun-to-be-with sisters and brothers.

How Much Do We Understand People?
