LIVING AT PEACE WITH MY FAMILY

What is a Family?
Family is the basic unit of our society. One would not evolve into someone without his or her family. Meaning, our family plays a vital role in molding ourselves into someone whom we really dream about. A typical family is comprised of parents and their siblings. While a extended family is comprised of a large family including grandparents, parents, and also grandchildren and their respective in-laws.

Most Problems in a family
1. Financial Problems - a time when a typical family lacks financial stability especially in buying prime commodities in order to struggle for a living.
2. Emotional Problems - These are the so-called "hard times" where we see a typical family in a lot more harder situation where the members are stacked into pile of problems making them emotionally incapable of facing things and situations.
3. Physical Problems - Times when a family undergoes a process of physical change. Like getting old, getting ill, having their own family, today others consider it as a big problem today due to other problems.
4. Spiritual Problems - others say, it is more important to be spiritually secured rather than financially secured, simply because there are things that money can't buy. Go and be joyful sons and daughters of the Lord, serving and following His commands. Thus, we could overcome spiritual problems.

SOME PERSONAL ADVICE
Love our parents, for tomorrow we all don't know if they would still be alive. Cherish every moment spent. And always say "I LOVE YOU" to those whom we credit our lives with. A popular saying says "What you sow, is what you reap.." Therefore, if we love and respect our parents, time will come, as parents, our children would do the same thing as what we did to our parents.
