I
believe God wants you to know...
...that all families have troubles in them. Problem-free
families do not exist.
Indeed, the challenges in families are family's greatest gifts.
How
else could we be healed of all the false notions we have
about
what it means to be human? How else could we learn of
real
love, and of true compassion, and of total acceptance?
There
is, of course, nothing to learn. There is only
for us
to remember what we have always known.
And
families give us the greatest opportunity to do that.
Therefore,
don't condemn "Uncle Charlie" or "Aunt Matilda".
Rather,
embrace them even more fully,
and
show them what it means to be fully human...
so that
they can find their way
back
home.
