As defined by The American Heritage Dictionary (1976)

Favorable 10. Of moral excellence; upright 11.Benevolent;kind 12.Valuable 13. Loyal 14. Well-behaved; obedient. (from the Middle English- god)

Gracious adj.- 1. Characterized by kindness and warm courtesy.  2. Characterized by tact and propriety.  3. Of a merciful or compassionate nature. 4. Characterized by charm or beauty. 5. Characteried by elegance and good taste. 5. Fortunate or prosperous.  (from Latin, agreeable, or good will)

Grateful adj.-1. Appreciative of benefits received; thankful. (from Latin- pleasing)

What are your ideas on promoting these in your family?
