Pray for Families (Indescribable Gift)

Greetings Prayer Warriors,

Arguing within a family, whether it be with spouse, dependent child, adult child, or any other relative can be quite frustrating, isolating, and disenchanting.  You may not always smile when you think of family.  But sometimes all it takes is several steps backwards to help you appreciate the entire canvas.  Can you imagine your family without even one member?  Each person brings a different perspective, color, and vibrancy to your family’s tapestry.  They may challenge you to see the daily grind through a different lens.  They may encourage you to paint the story of your life with a different colors.  Lovingly, they may tell you the painful truth that no one else will.  They may even reflect back to you your own beauty.

Let us praise God for the gift of family!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name; Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens. Blessed be the Lord day by day, God, our salvation, who carries us.  Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift! (Amen!) 
Psalm 100:4; Ephesians 1:3; Psalm 68:20; 2 Corinthians 9:15

Peace, Joy, and Love,
Janet

Praise God!  Pass it on!
