 * __Quote from the Bible about Family:__**

__Ephesians 6:1-3__ (Children) "Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”

__1 Timothy 5:8__ (Fathers) But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

__Proverbs 22:6__ (Fathers & Mothers) "Train up a child in the way he should go; when he's old he will not depart from it."

__Matthew 19:14__ (Children) "But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”

"Parents, you will teach your children more by scheduling regular times to nurture the relationship between husband and wife than you would ever teach them through a lecture on commitment. Although it is important for you pray to for your child, seeking the Lord for that perfect spouse for them, it is equally important that you teach them through your example how to cherish the future gift of a companion that the Lord has in store for them."

 * __Quotes from the Koran about Family:__**

__2:83__ (To the family) And when We made a covenant with the children of Israel: You shall not serve any but Allah and (you shall do) good to (your) parents, and to the near of kin and to the orphans and the needy, and you shall speak to men good words and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate. Then you turned back except a few of you and (now too) you turn aside.

__17:31__ (Parents) And do not kill your children for fear of poverty; We give them sustenance and yourselves (too); surely to kill them is a great wrong.

__64:14__ (Family) O you who believe! surely from among your wives and your children there is an enemy to you; therefore beware of them; and if you pardon and forbear and forgive, then surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

__63:9__ (Family) O you who believe! let not your wealth, or your children, divert you from the remembrance of Allah; and whoever does that, these are the losers.

 * __Reflection:__**
 * Overall summary of your learning from religion unit (focus on 2-3 general understandings).
 * Why did you choose this topic? What different things did you learn while researching and creating the project?
 * How do you feel about the final product? What are its strengths and what are its weaknesses?

1. From this religion unit I learned a lot about different religions and beliefs on how they go through everyday life. Earlier, we talked about the myths and I thought that it was kind of interesting to read about and how they came about. I also think that it was interesting on how they originated and how it changed over time by people telling it over and over again. 2. I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to study and research about. I also thought that it would be fun learning and understanding about their beliefs. 3. I think that my final project is good. I dont think that it is the best, but I do think that it is well enough for people to understand and learn something about it. My strengths are: My weaknesses are:
 * good pictures
 * good sentence structure
 * nice understanding
 * process
 * my analysis could be better
