A Blessing in Disguise...

Dear Friends,

This week God has opened my eyes to this truly amazing blessing He has given me. This blessing is one that I had contemplated before. However this blessing is in a disguise of chaos and familiarity, and I have not been as grateful as I am now.
My family has tripled in size since I was born. We have lived in ten different houses in my lifetime. My parents have had multiple job changes. Life has brought us many adventures and challenges.
And through all of these changes my family has only been encouraged through their beliefs. They still believe in the Bible. They still believe in the power of prayer.  And they still believe in Jesus Christ.
Although my family has had its share of difficulties and stress, they have always stuck together. My parents are still alive, together, and in love. My siblings are all healthy and growing. And, honestly, life is pretty good.
My parents have trained my up in the way that is godly. They have always encouraged me to follow God and to do what is right. Although they have made mistakes, they have always loved me and truly wanted the best for me.
This is one of greatest things God has blessed me with. I cannot even explain how grateful I am that my family loves the Lord and encourages me to do the same.
