Family

"Family" is a word that evokes different emotions from everyone.

Some think of family and feel rejection; others, complete acceptance.
Some feel adequate; some feel unworthy.
Some feel complete hate and abandonment; some feel unconditional love.
Some think they could never be good enough; others have always been told they are.
Some see it as a blessing; some see it as a curse.
Some wish they didn't have one; some wish they had more of one.
Some are blinded by it; some are blind to it.
Some are thankful for it; some refuse to accept what they've been given.
Some throw it away; some hang onto it with all that they are.

And those who hang onto it with their life realize that they are holding one of the biggest blessings that God could have ever given.
I am thankful for my family.
