The Gifts of RCA

Our love will flourish as we experience mutual forgiveness.
Trust in each other will return.
We will learn how to play and have fun together.
We will be better partners, parents, workers, helpers, and friends.
No matter how close to brokenness we have come, we will be able to help others by sharing our hope, strength and experience.  Just as our love for our partners has been imperfect, we may not always be adequately able to express to you the deep love and acceptance we feel for you.  Keep coming back! The process of loving and communication grows in us and with each other one day at a time.
