more than one kind of family
i've been meaning to post about this for a while now. :) going back to crisis home after i came back was a nice experience! i love going there, the uncles are always so nice and friendly, no new picture with them with me sadly. i titled this post such cause every time i go there and see 10-12 grown men living together and caring for one another, it teaches me that indeed, there is more than one kind of family. definitely though, blood is thicker than water no doubt, to me my family will always have a special place in my heart like no other people. but, in the lives of those not as fortunate as i am to have such a family, i realize that blood is not all that defines family.
it's love that does. and as cheesy as that sounds, it's true. love, and mutual respect. and each time i'm there i just get so amazed by the beauty of the God in our human spirits, that enable us to love one another, bringing everyone to a higher place. just.. wow. :)
and on another note, i've been having these flutters of unspeakable joy when i see anyone rising up to do greater things, to grow in God and do so much more than i expected of them, and when i see or hear of God working in people to make them just.. so much more beautiful, bringing them to where they are today. i think that that's my amazement towards a beautiful God and His works in people. breathtaking. :)
guess those are some of the pretty random thoughts i had. 5 days to go till i leave home once more. :( thank you heaps to people who made the effort to see me while i was here, and i am deeply blessed to know each of you. i will miss you so much. <3
love,
candice
