When two brothers have a daughter each and those girls look like sisters, they have a family trait. When one brother has a son and he looks like his dads brother, that is a family trait. When you find an old family Bible and there is a picture of a great great grandmother and you feel you finally know who you look like, that is a family trait.
If two sisters didn't know the other exsisted and when they meet they look somewhat alike. Their voice is so much alike, one mother can't tell the sisters apart on the phone...that is a family trait.
Who do you look like? Family traits come down from both sides of the family. If you are not in touch with both sides of your family, you may not know the traits on both sides of your family.
As sad as it might seem, there are siblings and cousins who have never seen each other. They have as much if not more family traits then the girls in our picture above.
We also know of sisters that have the same mother, but different daddys, and look very much alike...family traits on the mother's side is the only way to explain this.
Families deserve to be together and know each other. It is right. |
