Hello. Okay so this is my first official post discussing families. I think that the family is the most important thing in the world today. More important than money, cars,a house, or anything else. Without a family, life is not worth living. Now I know that there are people out there who do not have a family for some reason or another (death, poor decisions, etc.) but that does not mean that you do not or cannot have a family. I think that a family is more than a Dad, Mom, brothers and sisters. I believe that a family is much more than that. I believe that you can have close friends who become your family. I believe that total strangers who come into your life and help you or make a difference in your life can become family. Just because you don't have a typical "family" this does not mean that you do not have a family. We are all a part of the family of an Eternal Father in Heaven. We are His children, and therefore we are all family and I think we need to treat each other as such. Too often we spend our time fighting with our neighbors or competing with those around us and looking down on those who are less fortunate than us. We (the world) need to stop judging others and comparing ourselves with everyone and just be ourselves. We need to love those around us and look at the good in them. I know that as I have tried to do this I have been happier and my life has been better. That's not to say my life is easy or that I don't have challenges, because I do, but it means that I have a different perspective on how I view things, and I love it! I know that if you try to do this, your perspective with change and happiness will come into your lives.
