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.
