Do you love and value your family?

Families are everything, they are like a irreplaceable treasure we will do anything for its preservation. Families are important subset of the society and the root of all great nations. To many people, family could be considered as something most important to them. I love my family do much that I am willing to do anything for them. Some people don't have the privilege of having a family when they were young, probably some people grew up in foster homes or orphanage homes while some people get to live their childhood years with their families.

I could imagine the amount of hardships and difficulties faced by some people who lived without their family. Sometimes, situation might warrant some people losing their families. War for example may cause some people to lose their families and they become internally displaced persons who have to wander about in new environment. When you're not guided or is without a family, sometimes one may tend to be misguided or lack his or her sense of purpose in life. Family helps us to live well and live right as members of the society. We have our parents and siblings who doted on us and guide us on the good ways of living. I do imagine living a life without nobody to guide you and set you straight. That's one of the function of family. Most criminals in the society today were people who either have no parents to guide them or didn't have proper upbringing while they were young. The significance of this is that the role of the family in a proper society cannot be underestimated.

Many people neglect their family in pursuit of money and other things. Some do give the excuse of trying to make more money was the reason they have to be far enough from their families. Families are part of your life you shouldn't be far away from. There are many people who have left their families behind for other insignificant reasons. You see many successful and influential people who have made a mark in their own world but don't have time for their families. Their wives and children suffers so much from their absence. Being with your family means you share great bond together and you're happy together. Sometimes you bring unexplainable joy to your children just by staying with them and being around them.

Children who suffers their parents' absence over time may feel insecure and cultivate bad habits because they don't have anybody to guide them.

I could remember vividly back then during the initial surge of the covid-19 pandemic. Many companies were shut down temporarily and people were advised to stay at home with their families for the time being. It's a pity that many people always underestimated the value of family. Your family can be all what you have. In days of betrayal when everyone seems off, only your family will be there with you and cheer you on because they're part of you and you are part of them. That is why you must treat your family right every time. Do things that strengthen your bonds together. People who lack family love know the value of having one. No matter how high or great we become in life. Let's endeavor to put our families first, after God above all things. I so much love my family, they have in many ways being a source of help and encouragement for me that I can't just do without them. I'm always happy to just have them . The question is, do you value and love your family as much too?
