I may have mentioned before that I'm a great fusser. Even when my own life may be going smoothly, I can find stuff in other people's lives about which to worry, LOL. So one of the main character areas I am working to develop is how to be grateful for what I have in my life, learn from it, and be content that even negative stuff has meaning and worth hidden in it. Some days, this is an uphill battle!

The latest article from the Baha'i site at BellaOnline.com has some of what I've learned so far.

Finding Contentment
People need to find meaning in everything that happens to them, as well as what they do. Briefly, how I use the Bahá'í Faith to provide both meaning and purpose.

Today is Father's Day in the USA, and here in a past article is some of what the Bahá'í Faith has to say about fatherhood:

The Importance of Fatherhood
The Bahá'í Faith teaches that fathers are not just the financial support or family figureheads, but the equal partners of their wives in the rearing of children and the ordering of family life.
