When old skeletons find their way out of the closet, and dance for the family, the family is not entertained. Old and ugly scars get exposed, and the scabs that covered newer and still festering wounds are torn off.
When it comes to getting your feelings hurt, there is nothing quite as effective as family, as one capable of doing the hurting. Outsiders can and will say hurtful things about us, but the deepest hurts come when delivered by the ones we love. But there is a flip side to all of this sadness, and it lies in the fact, that we might consider ourselves lucky, to have had a family at all. In order to be hurt, you must have someone who you love, and whether you feel it now or not, must have at one time loved you too.
But here is the thing that you must hold onto at all costs, There is nothing like family, because blood truly is thicker then water. Hold onto family at all costs, and you hold onto the truest love you'll find outside of God's love. There are many types of families, ones built not on blood, but on a shared love, like music or art. But if you are lucky enough to have a family that is blood of your blood, hang onto them for dear life! Because in the end, the blood of family is really all you have. The family of God is one like this, because they too share one blood, the blood of Jesus.
