Extended family matters. I am grateful for our families.

Lord,

Thank you for the legacy of a godly family. I am grateful that I married into such a family. Thank you for those who walked with You before me and taught me Your ways. Help me to continue to walk in Your ways and to teach by example of Your grace and mercy, that my children may learn to walk in Your truth.

Amen

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 

3 John 2-4|ESV

The Accident was on August 12, 2013. For months the 12th brought me to tears. Then, about a year later, I decided to choose gratitude and healing rather than sorrow.
This month, I am taking the “Thanksgiving Challenge” and am posting Twelve Things I Am Grateful for in November each day for thirty days.
