Family is the most important part of all of our lives..for our family is what makes our lives..they make them so much more better..family is those people in whom know ya..they know your hurts..they know your heart..they know you..inside and out..for with family we learn about love..we learn how to respect..and more importantly we learn how to forgive..and how to move on in life..we learn that others may walk out of our lives but that family will always be there..family as I said is our gift from the Lord..we didn’t get to choose them..we didn’t know whom we would have in our lives and in our worlds..but God did..and He blessed us with them people that we have in our lives..those are the things in life that are incredible..family is the thing that draws us closer to one another..with family you laugh, you live and you love..you love like Christ loves us..for family can do things and they can say things..but we never turn our backs on our family..we hold on..and we love beyond faults..and beyond any failure..we just love our families..and we should love them unconditionally..for family makes life as I said so beautiful..for I know that I may not be around mine as I would like too..but the Lord knows that we all would be there for one another immediately when one needs the other one..there is no distance that can separate family..but tonight my heart is on family..maybe because it’s Christmas time..who knows..but sometimes we fail to understand how blessed we are as individuals to have family..to have someone in whom we can call anytime and just know that there is and will be a voice on the other end of that phone..so my prayer is that you love and hold closely to your family..cherish them always..never take them for granted..never let miscommunications separate you from one another..for life is too short to not have family in it..so we make time for our families…we make sure that we spend time with them..we plan to make time..for how many of ya know if you don’t plan your life then life will plan your life for you..because we have to take control over our lives..and we have to do them things that’s needed in our lives..we have to show them ones in our lives that we love them..for love is that action word..it’s not saying guys, but it’s doing and it’s showing..for the bible says that what is our lives but merely a vapor here one day and gone the next..James 4:14..and as well it says that faith without works is dead..James 2:14-26..we all need to sit down and take inventory over our lives..and see just what all we have done this year with our families..see the times that we’ve gathered..and we laughed and we loved on each other..for a year now days goes by very fast..and it’s true the older you get the faster it goes by..so let us make sure that were leaving memories behind us when we live this ole world..and make sure that we are filling our lives up with those memories and moments other than with a bunch of stuff instead..for we all know that things doesn’t bring happiness..but fellowship with others..and loving on others..and spending time with others..now that is all too well in and of itself loads of happiness for our lives and for our worlds..so let each of us commit to being better and doing better then what we have been doing..and let us make them plans..and more then that let us let go of the past and let us build our lives for the future..for the devil he will take your whole life right away from you if you fail to not see or pay attention to them things that somehow are gone now..that once used to be there…there’s no time to let him steal anymore from you..but it’s time to rise up and begin to live and live our lives with our families in them..building our homes for a better tomorrow..for not only us but as well for them future generations that will be following…for life once again is always better when you have your family..so let us protect ours..always and forever..In Jesus’ name, I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
