Family Is The Best Gift
Every day, every minute, we love our family, no matter what.
Although, conflicts and quarrels are present to this, but it doesn't harm the love and bond of every part of your family.
And everyday, we always find a way to have happy moments. From watching TV and tuned in to our favorite channel, to talk to them and confess every mistakes and good thoughts, to eating dinner with our family with best meals from our mom.
Sometimes, we hate them, from giving more chores, to being scold for something. But it doesn't have to think that they hate us, they're teaching us... Bad manner has to be corrected, and family always do what is right.
How much love they have in store?
Endless! And I mean endless! They love you as much as words couldn't even say. The love from you and your family are unconditional, or unconditional love. No limits or conditions!
That's why every time you succeed something, you get support from your family. If you needed someone to talk with, they're always with you. If you needed something, they will provide. That's how!
Family sticks together till the end!
Your family always there to be with you, and everytime you needed help, they're always willing to lend a hand.
Like how I arrived in Cebu with no hassle and able to be with my family. So much love to release and to see them waiting for me to arrive at the port. And after my parents saw the boat we are in, they immediately waited at the side where boats wait for departure.
It's like you are a soldier from the war, and your family seeing you returned is so wholesome! They gave a warm welcome and served you well, just like they took care of you when you are little.
Do families hate or quarrel?
Depends on the situation.
I remember that my parents were fighting over my sister that had dengue before. It was very loud that I don't wanna eavesdropping them.
It was about the hospital bills and such. And, mother much likely to be the highest rank of the family, because bro, her voice is no match for any opponents on her way.
But after the situation is under control, they actually forgive each other.
Another is that, between my older sister and my 3rd sibling (I'm the 2nd of the siblings). After a fight over a wifi connection became an absolute madness.
Both of them won't like each other. They don't talk to each other nor be with each other. She (young sis) wants to make my older sister to get out of the house and return to Negros. I think that's too harsh.
And despite efforts of getting them close to each other, only my old sister is ready to forgive her, but as my young sister's stubbornness she didn't accept the apology... Even though that situation happened a month ago!
Since my young sister always wants to be with me, I used that opportunity to convince her to forgive the big sister, but despite my efforts, she won't.
Until Father came to the situation. We had a Bible study that night, and after Father finished explaining, we held a prayer. Since both of them (old sister and young sister) are close to each other, my young sister never gave her hand to her, and father saw that. After the prayer, he somehow brought up, "Confession Night".
He told her (young sister) why hate her all day. She replied and talked about the situation between them that happened few months ago now. But father never accepted that reason, instead, he told her about hating each other and how it will destroy their relationship being sisters.
After that long talk, my young sister cried, thinking she was scold and got hated by him, but father explained that this event never going to hurt the feelings, but only to know that this is bad for her.
After that, she got told to hug her opponent (big sister) in a nice and real way. And, problem solved!
It's very nice to forgive someone that you quarreled for months and able to forgive. And it's very hard to hide your feelings and took hatred over love.
Supportive And Always Gives Good Advice
They are always supporting you. Don't think of something like, they put pressure on you and you really needed to made this perfect, like how Disney's Encanto showed the Family Madrigal. Instead, think that they gave you support and always remember, they like how you did the works, no matter how much effort you made.
Like how my grade 7/ High school life is. Pressure and too much work. I always thought every time my family calls me in a video chat, they'll put pressure on me, but after what my mother said about them not giving so much pressure and giving alot of support.
It melts my heart and made me more willing to study hard, rather than thinking they're giving pressure and loses my way of thinking. It also gives me a good chance get to get good grades because of the advice they gave.
How This Reflects Our Behaviours?
Social life improvements. You are more engaged to meet more people in a nice way.
Good Morals. Your behaviour is learned from what your parents taught you. Every bad behaviour turned into good.
Learned from Mistakes. Everytime you got scold from your family means to being more responsible and know your lesson from mistakes.
Benificial for your future family.
Respectful to others.
More Confidence and A better Friend.
How To Pay Them Back?
Everything has an exchange for something. But this one has a lot of things you can do to repay their love.
Bring back the love they gave. Show some love by giving them a warm hug, a kiss, or an appreciation of how they gave you love.
Make your life goal or your dreams happen. It takes time, but it pays off with the greatest effort you did after all sacrifices from your parents did.
Have some time to be with them. Watch TV or a movie with them, take them to a new place to explore or take them to a vacation. There's plenty of things to do to interact.
Never keep your hate. Releasing the hatred in front of your family is the worst thing to do, as you take some things in different ways.
There's so much more than this things I said. So, you can repay them in your ways.
Remember, love your family as they love you. Never keep bad things to your family and repay them from their sacrifices, in your own way, with a heart.

the good thing having a family, is that no matter how many times we argue, we still find ourselves coming back and getting comfortable with each other again and again
