Greetings, everyone!
To begin with, I'm blessed to have a large family and I'm proud to be part of this family. Looking around family is a precious gift we have ever had, and it is a good thing to come from such a family who is willing to support and encourage you whenever you are down is what family is. In our nursery and secondary school days, they taught us that a large family is also an extended family. Family consists of the family, mother, children, and those who are connected by blood, becoming one that supports and cares for others without any neglect. We have a nuclear and extended family. Family is beyond the number of people constituted in it; you can have a large family or nuclear family with beautiful ladies and handsome men, but their hearts aren't to support or stay mutually connected. On the other hand, beautiful ladies and handsome men, are supportive and mutually connected, standing for positivity and standing against negativity in the family.

We are 8 in number in my nuclear family and I tell you the truth, my siblings have been of great support to me, and my parents have always been there, the same thing to my uncles and aunts, they have been of great help to my elbow not only in the financial aspect but emotionally, spiritually, care, support and many more. During my convocation, my aunties from my maternal family showed up for me in an amazing way; though their distance was far away, they sent in what they had for me, and I was so happy and encouraged. My younger siblings did so well for me, and I was overwhelmed with joy and happiness.
In a family without supportive elements, individuals are bound to face tribulation and problems that might lead to separation and problems but families are not structured from the onset to like that. Family of parents, siblings, cousins, uncles, aunts, nephews, and other relatives are to be in unity and peace of the family to support others and provide an emotional foundation among members.

Precisely, I like being in a large family of lovely people, with genuine and golden hearts. Take, for instance, my immediate sister who was pregnant, and we had a lot of negative prophecies in her head that the delivery wouldn't be successful. I, my mother, and my other siblings stood in the gap for her in the place of prayers all the time till she gave birth successfully to a baby girl. She is my immediate sister, you will know how painful it will be if you lose someone very close to you. Every time I pray for my sister, till she puts to birth like a Hebrew woman. I was so excited that God answered my prayers. No matter how she behaves most of the time, we don't put her as a stumbling block or pave the way for the enemy to access her life. We need to show her love, mercy, compassion and care.
