FOR THE LOVE OF FAMILY

By Vernalee

Family! Remember them? Related through blood line, they are the people that we feel close to, grew up with, talk to, share time with as we show love - most of the time. They can also be the people that we engage in verbal warfare with, get upset with, refuse to talk to out of anger. You know the list as I do. There have been fights - here and there. We can for sure hold on too long to things that we should let go. We can become victims of unforgiveness. We can take things too far. You know exactly what I mean. Can I get a witness?

The interesting thing is that there are times that we can't live with them (family) and times that we cannot live without them! At the end of the day, there is something that we share that supersedes the frustration that we can sometimes feel. It's called connection; it's called togetherness; it's called love - a feeling that may have become dormantly hidden in the membranes of our soul. If and when released, it’s that permanent bond that glues us together (as a whole) no matter how weak our individual pieces may be! Photo Credit: About Us
