Day #1- I'm Thankful For Family
Yes, I am thankful for my family. God has blessed me with a wonderful family and an extended family. The one thing I've learned in life is that family is very important and precious. To often we take our family/relatives for granted.
I've lost many relatives. Most of these we've lost within the last 10 years and most were sudden and unexpected. Death is very real to me. I know what it's like to hurt. I know what it's like for my family to hurt. I stood by the bedside and watched family members pass. So when I say, "I am thankful for family" I truly mean that with all of my heart. Friends come and go, but family is forever.
To many people let silly things wreck their family. They let silly disagreements and arguments turn in to years of bitterness and resentment. I know, I've been guilty of it myself. Some stay angry so long that they forget what it was that made them so angry to begin with. But ,when the day comes and that person is no longer here, you realize just how precious family really is and just how fragile people really are.
Family is a gift from God. I am thankful that God has blessed me with my family & my Hubby's family (which is also my family). I am thankful for a family to love. I am thankful that I can take care of them and know that they will take care of me. I am blessed to have each of my family members (rather it's by blood or marriage). Having them has added so much to my life. Thank you God for blessing me with a family.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
We Are On The Fence!
