Quotes are very powerful but out of all of the quotes on CodeofLiving.com, this post on family quotes is my favorite. Merriam Webster describes the term “Family” as a social group made up of parents and their children. Though their definition is correct, I personally think that Family is more than that. I think that Family has a deeper meaning, its not just some relations – but a group of people that you hold closest to your heart. Family is what’s there for you through all your hardships and what brings you up when you’re feeling down. While Family often derives from your direct blood, it does not have to be composed of just that. Your Family can be the people in your life that bring positivity…and whether that is your direct blood or your closest friends, you always have Family.
Although Family can be incredibly embarrassing or annoying sometimes, it is also what keeps us going when the going gets tough. Despite everything, Family is who we trust the most and care for the most (and vice-versa), so we should always appreciate and recognize the blessing that Family is. So, whether you’re low-key thinking of ways to get out of a Family celebration, or simply just scrolling, I hope this collection of 42 family quotes reminds you and helps you to acknowledge your Family 🙂
