“This morning as I think about Thanksgiving passing us bye..I always first and foremost thank my Father in heaven for another year..and for always meeting and providing for me and my family..for His faithfulness and love that He daily gives..Amen..but more than that this morning my heart goes towards family..Amen..because isn’t that what holidays do..they bring family and friends together..but more than anything this morning it’s on restoration and unity for families..because it’s not just a few families that have issues in their relationships with their family..but it’s many..and I mean many..Amen..and honestly it’s completely terrible to say the least..Amen..for I pray that the Lord would completely wash over families..mine included..Amen..that He would soften our hearts and fill us up with so much love towards our families..extended and close..Amen..that somehow we would all be reunited again..that we would come close to one another again..because I don’t know the causes at times for families to separate and begin to distance themselves from one another..but somehow along all of our pathways..we begin to do our so called own thing or things in our lives..somehow we got used to being separated to where it no longer bothers us..we just think it’s the norm so to speak..Amen!”

“But I tell you guys it is not the norm..nor did the Lord ever intend for it to be the norm with any of us..I would say that sometimes we just get caught up in life as to where if we talk every few weeks or even text once a month..than that’s good enough..but that is not good enough..Amen..for we all need one another..family helps each other..families are so important to us all..and the Lord gave them to us because family is beautiful..Amen..even in our messes of life..even in the mishaps..brokenness..and sometimes saying things that we don’t mean..we still love each other..so I do pray this morning that God would cover families..that He would bring a conviction over hearts and lives..that we would rise up and pray for one another..and that if it is forgiveness that needs to be said then we ask for forgiveness..that if it’s pride that some how rose up in our life..that we would ask the Lord to humble us..and to forgive us..because scripture says that God resists the proud but He does give grace to the humble..James 4:6..Amen..and how can we walk with Jesus..and be in His presence and somehow overlook the heart of God our Father which is our families..Amen..somehow that just isn’t right whatsoever..Amen..and let us all ask of the Lord to put it all back together every piece of our family puzzle that is missing..Amen..for it is in His name, Jesus’ Holy and blessed name that 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 ❤️
