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. |
