He sets the solitary in families

Psalms 68:6
God settles the solitary in a home;
he leads out the prisoners to prosperity...

What bliss family brings! It's comforting to have people who love and accept you for who you are. Of course, there are occasional squabbles and misundertandings but after all has been said and done... as the cliche goes "blood is thicker than water".

God is in the business of comforting us with relationships that add value to our lives. No man is created to be an island. God said "it is not good for man to be alone, I will create a helpmeet suitable for him". The bible says "Two are better than one..." and "two shall put ten thousand to flight". A can do attitude is wonderful but eventually everyone needs companionship; that special person/ people who get you. 

One thing is true in my life... Those days which seem so bleak and gloomy always get lit up once a member of my family calls. They either have jokes to tell, words of comfort, or even say annoying things  which is out of place but out of love. 

Take time out and invest in these divine relationships and appreciate this wonderful gift from God. As the saying goes - "You can choose your friends but you cannot choose your family".
