4) This is part of what a family is about, not just love, but letting others know there’s someone who is watching out for them.

6) Do the kinds of things that come from the heart.
When you do, you won’t be dissatisfied, you won’t be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else’s things.
On the contrary, you’ll be overwhelmed with what comes back.
