Have you ever had anything stolen from you that was sentimental and priceless? Stolen from you by relatives? I have to remember that we take nothing with us when we leave this planet. I have some relatives I wouldn't wish on anybody. Despicable. And their true colors came out when a loved one was dying. Beware of relatives. Even the ones you think are great now. "The love of money is the root of all evil," says Scripture. Blood is not thicker than water. A friend of mine who was adopted says the same thing. She met her birth parents recently and was so grateful to God for her real family, her parents who adopted her.
