There is a plaque in my home that reads, "Other things may change us, but we all begin and end with family". How true is that now? Very much so for me. My family is so important that a life without it would alter my very behavior. God instituted family when Adam and Eve got together. From there, was Cain and Abel. Only difference in that family is how close mine are with each other. At least, we don't compare our offerings... Well, i love my parents and siblings. Doesn't matter what they do. It's something you can't get any where else. Can't just foster a life time relationship with some random person.
It depresses me to see how family gets toss out the window at the age of 18. Sure, it marks independence, but going into the world with "severed" ties to your parents is like a slap in the face for every thing your parents did for you. i think the worst comes from the parents themselves because what the kids learn in life is from parents. Teach the wrong thing and children will grow to mimic the same thing in the future and the cycle continues on and on. i plan to hold fast to my family and the values i learn from my parents. i love my dad because of his family oriented values. My mom for her undying love for me and my siblings. Both are always there to listen and advise. Both are great examples of ideal parenting. Humble and loving at the same time. They might not be loaded with wealth, but through our lacking, we learn modesty and contentment.
i LOVE my family...
