Economic and social policies as well as organization of the work world should be continually evaluated in light of their impact on the strength and stability of family life. The long-range future of this nation is intimately linked with the well-being of families, for the family is the most basic form of human community. Efficiency and competition in the marketplace must be moderated by greater concern for the way work schedules and compensation support or threaten the bonds between spouses and between parents and children. (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Economic Justice for All, no. 93)
The first and fundamental structure for a "human ecology" is the family . . . founded on marriage, in which the mutual gift of self as husband and wife creates an environment in which children can be born and develop their potentialities, become aware of their dignity and prepare to face their unique and individual destiny. (St. John Paul II, On the Hundredth Year [Centesimus Annus], no. 39)

New! "Our family a circle of strength, founded on faith, joined in love, kept by God." This made-to-order keepsake sign is perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, gallery walls, housewarmings and more! Available with or without an "established" date -- to order with a date, simply include the date written as you'd like it painted in a "message to seller" at checkout. **Note: wreaths/vases/flowers/props not included. Listing is for designated sign only.**
Since each piece of the sign and frame are hand cut, crafted and distressed from quality wood, paint and/or stain, no two signs are ever the same, and no attempt is made to hide, fill or cover all imperfections or knots. In fact, imperfections add to the vintage, chippy one-of-a-kind character and are celebrated in all their glory!
This sign as shown is off-white with black letters (no vinyl -- though the letters are painted with stencils and will appear a bit raised due to the multiple coats of paint that we use for coverage/color consistency/to eliminate bleeding) and a classic walnut stained frame, and sealed with a clear, protective top coat. (Inside use recommended.) Additional frame options are shown in the last photo. Please feel free to "convo" me with any questions.
The sign depicted measures 36" wide by 24" tall x 1 1/8" deep, including the frame, Hanging wire is also provided and attached.
Current shipping time is as reflected in our policies and on our front shop page since your sign is handmade upon purchase. However, if expedited services are required, we are happy to work with you to the best of our ability for a rush fee. (Please see the "Policies" tab above.)
