Take some time today to give thanks to God for your family. Whether your family is big or small, dysfunctional or well-functioning, cruel or loving, what gift can you find in the center of it all? I have had several people tell me the only gift they see in their family is "how not to do it." That can still be a gift.
Celebrate the Feast of the Holy Family by praying for your family. Consider reaching out to an estranged person of the family (if it is safe to do so). Find healing and hope.
(Thank you to the parishioners of Holy Family Catholic Church in Thayne, Wyoming for the memories. It was beautiful in May 2017.)
