When I think of "Family", I think of the words, "safe, fun, joy, forgiveness, selfless, sacrifice and grace". Although I do not always feel these things all at the same time toward my family, I have been blessed with one of the best families around.
I feel a sense of security with my family knowing that they all (even extended family) are there for me even when I don't deserve their love, and that they love me and will accept (and have accepted me), despite my many flaws and mistakes. I have joy in the thought of my family feel very blessed that God has placed each of these people in my life to uplift me and love me.
I hope that when my family thinks of me, they do so with fondness and know that I love them and am there for them whenever they need me. I hope that my children can see Family as a blessing and learn to feel the same comfort and love from our family. I hope and pray for them that they would have a desire to deepen their relationships with family members and are devoted to family.
I pray also that my children desire to learn the rich history of our family and appreciate our roots as well as a desire to leave a lasting, Godly, loving legacy, as God is the glue that binds our family together and continues to give us a desire to love, forgive and live with each other in grace.
