After my salvation nothing is more precious to me than my family. I’m eternally grateful to God for my wife, for my daughter and her husband, and for my two wonderful grandchildren. Still when I think of family my heart turns naturally to mom and dad, to the ones who gave me life and willingly sacrificed their present to give me a future. I didn’t do anything to deserve the family into which I was born. It was all God’s doing and I will give Him thanks this day and every day.
“‘Honor your father and mother’—Which is the first commandment with a promise—‘that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.’”
— Ephesians 6:2-3 (NIV 1984)
Lord Jesus, thank you for allowing me to be born to godly parents. In Your holy name I pray.
