"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him." Psalm 127 : 3
Everyone has a family. Some by birth and some by choice. The family you grew up in helped to mould and shape you into the person you have become.
The family you have established as an adult is continuing that work and moulding and shaping your children too.
If you don't have a family, the one you have created, made up of friends, also forms you and is your secure, safe place.
Families are important. God made them because he knew that a healthy family is a safe place where we are taught how to live amongst other people. That doesn't mean we don't have differences.
We do. It doesn't mean we won't hurt each other. We will. It means that we love one another, forgive one another and stand by one another whatever comes. What a gift from God!
The family was ordained by God before He established any other institution, even before He established the church – Billy Graham
