Family

August 25, 2015

Family is so important. Treasure the family God has given you. It may be very small, just you and a husband, or child. Maybe your family is huge with fifty or more immediate children, grandchildren and more. No matter how many family members you have, love them, treat them with respect and don’t forget courtesy.

If you are a Christian it is even more important to have good relationships with your family. Sometimes misunderstanding can take years to correct but work on it until it is resolved. There is no greater joy than to have great fun and fellowship with the ones you love the most. 

You belong to a unique family; the of God if you have been born again. You have a Heavenly Father, Brother named Jesus and many Christian brothers and sisters. You are never with out a family member with you at all times. Our Father is just a prayer away.

Romans 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;

We Gather Together

November 26, 2014

We Gather Together Hymn

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens His will to make known.
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to His Name; He forgets not His own.

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, were at our side, all glory be Thine!

We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant,
And pray that Thou still our Defender will be.
Let Thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

This hymn reminds me of Thanksgiving. As a small child I remember going to church and singing this hymn. Today I am thankful for family. Some of them will gather tomorrow to eat and have fellowship. Most of them will not be with me but I carry their love in my heart. My prayer for everyone who reads this will have a Happy Thanksgiving and know that the Lord Jesus is also with you even if your loved ones cannot be there.

Psalms 69:30
I will praise the name of God with a song,
and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
