Family is eternal...

Yesterday, I went on an outing with my sister, and her boyfriend. After a lot of stress on the relationship between my sister and I recently, today was a breath of fresh air. I think it is so important to stress the importance of family. Regardless of the struggles you deal with as far as your family is concerned, they're all you've got in the end. When all else fails, if you keep faith in God, your family is your best bet on everything, and that's my word.

Although the past few days have been hell in my house, [somehow] I still love my family.

A strong family is like a Georgia pine tree. A Georgia pine tree is a magnificent tree that is deeply rooted in fertile soil, and grows tall. In a family, these roots are also known as your elders. They're the oldest part of the tree and have been on the earth for the longest amount of time. They have knowledge of the weather (trials and tribulations) and how it effects the family. The thing that the elders are deeply rooted in is faith in God (or whomever). The trunk of the tree can be described as the direct descendants of the elders, the middle generation. This generation has gained most of it's knowledge from their parents, and other elders (the roots). They are another crucial part to the family because they keep it standing tall. The trunk of the tree branches out, into the newest generation, also known as their children. This is the generation that is farthest from it's roots, and stray from their faith. This generation is much different from the others because if its eagerness to explore other parts of the world. This part of the tree is equally important. The branches of the tree, also known as the new generation have dreams which come and go. The dreams are known as the needles, and pine cones. Many of these dreams fade away in time, but others manifest into greatness, and grow into yet another magnificent Georgia pine. This can only be achieved through nurturing from their elders, parents, siblings, and God above.

The dynamics of a family transcend all else. The configuration and anatomy of a family is like nothing else on this earth. There are many who are not fortunate enough to be a part of a family. If you're blessed enough to have one, invite others to share the joy of a family. It is so very important to cherish your family because it is another work of precious DiViNE ENERGY.
