Design

Family is not a result of human intelligence. It is not an idea brought about by any human mind. Family is not of a mathematical calculation. It should never be given meaning by what people do.

Family is more than what the whole world can think of. It is more than what can be seen. It is more than the physical.

Family derives its origin and meaning from the maker of everything.

If one would agree that God exists and is the creator of the heavens and the earth then it should also be wise to accept beyond doubt that family is from God.

Therefore, family should have a pattern or plan.

Why talk about family?

There many benefits that can be identified when talking about family.

Talking enables us to share ideas and beliefs on anything in life. Therefore, family is an entity that is found everywhere around the world.

Everything has a belonging which brings out identity.

Now family presents us with a sense of accountability.

Identity, as mentioned above is also associated with family.

Responsibility begins with the family.

Authority can not be ignored when talking about family.

Relationship is the hinge on which every family hangs on.

Family is the basic unit of a community that builds up a nation.

Security plays an integral part in the family.

The list is endless, but these few enable us to value family life thereby forming a network that will strengthen and support individuals despite their background or origin, status or stature.

Today

Hie

You might wonder why you must read this piece of writing right now. You might not understand today how important it is for you to consider giving yourself enough time to read more about life especially family life. We all belong to a family in one way or the other.

It is true that some people have grown up or are in a malfunctioning or non-functioning families. Nevertheless, it must be understood that they still belong. It is this belonging that people must be concerned with.

No one came from nowhere. We all were born through a biological formation and we derive our existence from a mother and a father.

Family life today has lost its meaning and importance within the society and more so in the individuals life. This kind of situation has therefore increased a culture of irresponsibility and carelessness. There is no more accountability regarding parental guidance and communal sensitivity.

This is why today you need to consider taking time reflecting on your experiences and aim for a better future. You can only secure your future by acting now otherwise you will always regret your untoward choices.

Today is your day and it is the only time available to you to start preparing for the future. You might ask 'what if tomorrow does not come?' Well, what if it comes! So be wise, get prepared.
