Family is something that is not talked about much these days.  What we see on TV is not always presented accurately.  The picture presented of family is sometimes twisted or entirely off from what family really is.

Family can be blood kin folk.  Family can be people who choose to associate with each other as other than just close friends.  Family does not always agree within the group about things that go on, or things that happen.  There is however a love and concern for each other that would not be present with groups that are just associates.  Yes, family bicker sometimes, each of us is after all an individual.  We will not always agree on everything eye to eye, that’s life, that’s family.  Family however,  will many times stick together in spite of the differences that may happen between each other.  An author that I like to read talked about having a sister-of-the-heart.  They were not born sisters, or sisters by marriage, they chose to be each others’ sisters.  I find that to be accurate, as I,too, have sisters-of-the-heart.

We can also chose to have family-of-the-heart with others. When we chose to accept Jesus into our lives, we can also choose to accept other believers as family-of-the-heart.  We can end up with family all over the world from other countries.  No one can say that everything will be perfect, we are each individuals.  However each of us was raised, will affect how we respond to different things.  That is true with regular blood family also.  Why not get yourself a large family?  It is not always nice to be alone in this world.
