The Bible is full of examples of real-life people, in real families that have real problems!
Sometimes fights happen because people have different opinions? Ask each one in your family, "What is your favorite ice cream flavor?" Everyone has a different taste. No one is wrong. Just each one likes something different.
The fight comes in when people think only of themselves, and not others. Read James 4:1-3. That kind of explains some of the fights that happen in families, doesn't it?
A guy in the Bible had some BIG family fights with his brothers. You may read about Joseph and that whole problem in Genesis 37:12-36. You can read about how that all ended up in Genesis 41:56,57 and Genesis chapter 42, 43, 44 and 45. (That's a lot of reading, but you could take some time each day and look at a chapter.)
God's plan is for our good. God's plan is for us to love each other.
1 John 4:7,8 says, "Let us love one another, for love comnes from God. Everyone who loves has been bortn of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God..."
Let's show the love of God to every person in our families.
See you soon!
