There is nothing like having people who you can depend upon or talk to when you are going through difficult or hard times in your life. These are the people who will always be in your life no matter what.   You might not get along with some of them but that is normal. You probably have a disagreement going on with some of them but no matter what,  there will always be a bond there between each of you.  The things you were exposed to as a child while living with them are all reflections on you.  The environment which you come from whether it is good or bad will always be demonstrated somewhat in  your behavior patterns and the ways in which you get along with other people and the way you choose to live your life sometimes..  Your environment and the family members you grew up with perhaps help develop your character to a certain extent whether we realize it or not.  The life-styles that we are accustomed to, being around as a child plays a vital role in the ways in which we handle some of our life problems.  As the old sayings goes, train up a child in the way he or she should go and when they gets old, they will not depart from it, well some of this I agree with and some I don't agree.There are some children who have come from a strict environment with praying christians parents but yet in still, ends up on the wrong side of the track.  In other words, they become rebellious and end up doing just the opposite of what their parents  taught them.  No matter what they are going to experience and do what they want to whether or not it is good or bad.  That is why family is so important, this is the time when family members should reach out and try to help those who are weak or has fallen along the wayside.  Help bring them back into reality, to understand that what they are doing to themselves and other aren't right and they need to change their rebellious ways., especially if they aredoing the things that are not acceptable to society, like not caringabout the laws of the land, living riotiously, fighting, disturbing thepeace and others, drugging and not caring for their families, justliving any type of way, and don't care,  This is the time for prayer andfamily intervention as well as divine intervention.  It has also beensaid, that a family that prays together, stays together, so no matterhow far apart you are from one another, please don't forget towhisper a prayer each day for all of your family members to ask God to keep them in his loving arms of protection.  This is what family members are for, to love, protect and help those who can't do it by  themselves.  Don't leave them alone by themselves trying, when deep down inside, they can't do it by themselves, it takes a whole village to raise a kid, that is another saying that we should take under consideration.  Love your family and respect each other, you have only yourselves to depend upon.  You all need each other.
