| Your Family is a Gift from God. They are there to give you love and to recieve love. Family is also one of the strongest connections we have to God. Through it we can see the face and glory of our Creator. I know you must say to yourself sometimes, "How can I see the face of God in my family when they always seem to get on my last nerve?" but in order to see God in them you must learn to see through His eyes by trading those thoughts of anger and resentment for thoughts of forgivness and patience. Only then can we see the true value of our families. That image of family can get clouded by many things, but that can be changed by taking a moment in the day to reflect on the good qualities and loving moments you have shared with your family. Then give a prayer of thanksgiving to God for giving you those moments. If anger and resentment still cloud those thoughts, think about where you would be if you didn't have a family and no one to share that love with. A note for those who may not think they have a family because they were adopted or are no longer with there's for any reason, remember that you will always have a family with friends and most of all with God's family. To have God present in your family, be it just you or a family of 6, is to know the true meaning of family: Love. This can not be acheived in one day, I can tell you that from experience, but in praying as often as you can and meditating upon this thought. Soon you will see some great changes in life. |
