I wish I have or I wish I came from a perfect family, but I don't.
So maybe we can look to the Bible to find a perfectly happy family? There seems to be none.
Cain killed Abel, his brother. Abraham and Sarah for a while lapsed in faith producing Ishmael and Isaac and some trace the conflict in the middle east from this. Jacob swindled Esau his brother, Esau rejected the gift offered by his father.
We can see this also in the children of judges and priests in the OT. Aaron's sons violated the Law and offered strange fire. God slew them, I thought of how Aaron would have felt about this.
Perhaps in the Lord's home? We hear his brothers did not believe in him. John 7:5. That does not suggest everything is honky dory there.
When I look at families less complex than mine, I get tempted to violate the 10th commandment, I covet what the family of others. I would say I wish that I have that kind of family.
It is time to look at the Scripture and hope for the real family in heaven.
