Family 

Today I am grateful for having a family back home including my parents, siblings and nephews. The family has countless blends and combinations, for instance, immediate family, joint family, stepfamily, paternal and maternal family, uncles, aunts, in-laws and cousins are part of the family circle. I acknowledge that family is the source of support. I am blessed with all varieties. I thank full for having a family for many reasons, for instance:

• Family is a primary and a great source of support and assistance on this earth

• Even animals have a family system and live together for a certain period of time

• Family provides comfort, relief and the source of relaxation

• You can ask the importance of family to an orphan child, living in the orphanage home or ask those who are living abroad

• Satisfaction, happiness and pleasure are related to the family

• Always do care and support your family, is the recommendation of the day
