Make the most of it

Things are hard and things are tricky. Family is definitely hard. Whose idea was it to have us live in a group? We have to all get along and spend time with each other. We have to love and take care of each other. We are stuck with them no matter where you move or how old you get or what they've done or how you acted. Whose idea was this? --God's.

And it's wonderful and it's hilarious. It's the best thing in the world. It's hard and somedays it's the worst thing, but is beautiful. I see God's hand in my life when I appreciate the people he's sent to me in my family. This hodge-podge scramble of individuals have many faults and merits, but God knew that if combined in just the right order, in just the right proportions, shaken up just like this--perfection could be achieved. So make the most of it. Family is the adventure of eternity.
