The Gift of Family
From the comfort of
the womb to a cold sterile room,
Into the loving arms
of my family
As a child oh so shy,
learning not to tell a lie,
Sheltered by hugs of
a family
As a teen in high
school, hoping to be so cool,
Grounded by the love
of my family.
Leaving to spread my
wings, trying lots of different things,
Tethered by the love
of my family.
Finding my true love,
being sealed by the “Dove” above,
Wanting to start my
own family.
Each gift from above,
will find Truth and Love,
In the wide-open arms
of a family.
May we see it as
grace, that we may see His face
As we share His sweet
love with our family.
Love one another as I have loved you. John 15:12
Heavenly Father, thank
you for the gift of family. We praise
you for parents who selflessly gave of themselves for our benefit. We thank you for siblings that kept us in
check. We thank you for relatives that ran interference when necessary, and
genuinely loved us. We thank you for
guiding us through the hills and valleys of life, and for the angels you sent
to protect us. Please preserve the
precious gift of family so that every child may know the love of a mother and
father, and the blessing of siblings. We ask this, in Your
most precious name. Amen.
May Peace, Joy, and Love flourish in your families,
Janet
Ponder, pray, and
give thanks for the gift of family. Pass
it on!
