Thanksgiving: What a beautiful word!

It is wine o'clock and I wanted to share a pray today. It's from a prayer cube given to me by a family member I love and admire! It's one of my favorite prayers and I think it's perfect for Thanksgiving!

Dear God,

thank You for my loved ones, and for choosing me from all others to love and care for them. Fill me with Your Spirit to share Your warmth and love with my dear ones, and bless them with Your joy, peace, and grace. May we come someday as one family to live with You forever in heaven.

Amen

Wow I'm fa-clement! What a great prayer for today! I know sometimes families and loved ones are tough. So many emotions good and sometimes painful. But I'm reminded of a thought I heard in church months ago. Maybe we are with our specific families for a reason. If we have strife with one another maybe that's why we are connected. There is a purpose. Something we need to learn or perhaps teach. Again I come to the answer the wine give me:

Unconditional Love. The end.

I LOVE YOU BEADS. How incredibly grateful I am for our family. How special you are to me. I knew that the love you all have would enfold my friends, an in Betty Jeans case, make her one of the family, would be there. What a thing to have. To know, to know the depth of the love of your family. It's quite amazing and so special. I want you to know that without that most special love of all of my family, there is no way I would have survived the power of addiction. Only the power of a loving God as expressed in our family, would have been enough to save me. How grateful and fortunate I am. Thank you sweetie. I love you.
