Who is family?

I was talking to my friend Lynda about family today.
Talking about how hurtful family can be.
Sometimes it is intentional, sometimes it is unintentional.
Many people, many situations.
How different families react to adversity
How different people respond
Talking about family members
who might not have
much to do with you anymore
Can result in such anger at first
Then that moves to hurt and unbelief
AND THEN...eventually....
(even though it still hurts sometimes)
coming to the realization that FAMILY is
looser than what you might have originally defined it.
Family are people who love you!!!
THAT
a true definition of Family!
I have the most wonderful FAMILY in the whole world.
for I am loved
Peace
