Grandparents, parents, children and God - the center of them all is true love.... The three-generation family is like the entire universe. It is like a textbook to learn how to love the universe.

The Three-generation Family
Topic: Family & Friendship
“As children you are destined to inherit the fortune of your grandparents and parents. Why do you need grandparents? They represent the past–they embody the living history of the past. Parents represent the present age and children represent the future. Thus, the family connects the past, present and future, as well as East, West, North and South. Grandparents, parents, children and God–the center of them all is true love. Think about whether it is this way in your family. By loving and respecting your grandfather and grandmother, you inherit everything from the past and learn from the past. From your father and mother you learn about the present. By loving and cherishing your children, you learn about the future… The three-generation family is like the entire universe. It is like a textbook to learn how to love the universe.“

Additional Sun Myung Moon Quotes
“God’s love abides where parents, husband and wife, and children are united in love. Where these three kinds of love come together, God dwells absolutely and for eternity. This family is God’s dwelling-place. Wherever there is unchanging parental love, unchanging conjugal love, and unchanging children’s love, God is always present.”
