A family is bonded together by LOVE, not BLOOD.

Let me give you an example.

A rich family, father is a business man, mother is the head of some organisation, child who barely sees the parents, was taught by and grew up with a nanny.

If the child needs anything, she has to tell the nanny, and the nanny will tell the parents' secretaries, and then only the secretaries will tell the parents.

What kind of family is this? A family of only titles, father, mother are titles the child say to strangers. Son, daughter, are titles the parents says to a teenage they totally do not understand.

From what i see, i think the nanny and the child are more of a family then the parents and the child. Why? Cause the nanny loves the child and knows the child while child also loves and knows the nanny as well. (For those who love literature, this part is similar with Romeo an Juliet)

Let me give you another example.

A father who created the universe, and if earth was a golf ball, (Louie Giglio) we'll be even smaller than the tiny dust on it and the universe would be huge. I think you could go to Mon't Everest, put your golf ball there and loooook up and maybe imagine another 1 on top, thats the universe, or maybe only a small part of it.

But because of us, the not-even-bigger-than-dust-people-if-earth-was-a-golf-ball, he gave his only son, to die on the cross, to save us, the sinners so tiny yet so precious in his eyes.

He love us so much, he tied a string on each of us, when we go in too deep, he puts us out, as long as we ask him to. So why are we so stubborn? Thinking we can do things ourself without GOD?(ahem, going a little off track, going back to explaining FAMILY) This is definitely a family, with love bonding it together.
