Yes, that's right. Archbishop emeritus Desmond Tutu said that. "You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them." You can look at it as a blessing, as an opportunity, or a curse. Either way, you've got to make the best out of it. So, instead of going through lives whining about certain family members or making enemies out of family members and let their actions control your lives, put on a different lens to look your lives through. We are God's children and regardless of what we've done, if we come to Him in humbleness asking for forgiveness and mercy, He will always forgive us of our sins and as it is written in Micah 7:19, "He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot. Yes, You will cast all their sins Into the depths of the sea."
Most likely when you are growing up you won't get along as well with your sibling(s) and that's common. Daddy and Mommy didn't have "awesome sibling days" all the time when growing up. We practiced karate on each other, hurt each other's feelings with words or actions that we didn't mean or regret, etc. But as grow up older, we realize that we have each other and we love each other and we love our parents and grandparents and so forth. Remember, they are God's gifts to you, as you are to them.
