when you are tickled, teased, tricked, protected, and hugged . . .

. . . you will know that you have brothers that love you.

All of my pride, my shame, and self glorying
He saw my sin without a veil
He wept with me as we examined the filth
Then He gave me a new heart

He blessed me again with a family that cares
In this family remain my closest friends
Love was never purer, stronger, or more true . . .

than the love that is found in a family.
