The longer I live, the more I realize just how blessed I am. In addition to a very positive relationship with my parents and siblings, I was blessed with an extended family of loving grandparents, aunts and uncles. As a result, I never doubted my worth as a person. Within the extended family circle I knew I had a place. I was loved. I was somebody.

“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity.”

— Proverbs 3:1-2

Lord Jesus, thank You for the gift of family and the loving support they have provided. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
