  1. \n
      \n
    1. \n
        \n
      1. (Legalism<\/strong><\/span>)- a list of rules and regulations<\/li>\n
      2. (Grace<\/strong><\/span>)- Unmerited and undeserved favor<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n
            1. People need to know (they are cared about<\/strong><\/span>). \u201cPeople don\u2019t care how much you know
              \nuntil they know how much you care.\u201d<\/li>\n
            2. Caring for people is (hard work<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n

            4. No sorrow should ever be (carried<\/strong><\/span>) or (suffered alone<\/strong><\/span>).<\/li>\n
            5. Family (prays<\/strong><\/span>) for each other.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
