The musings of a man journeying through life with the sure hope of what is to come, rejoicing in the "already", while living in the reality of the "not yet".
Ben, thanks for sharing your family with the world, may this prayer bless you all.
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, Who places solitary persons in families: We commend to Your continual care the homes in which Your people dwell. Put far from them, we beseech you, every root of bitterness, the desire of vainglory, and the pride of life. Fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, and godliness. Knit together in constant affection those who, in marriage, have been made one flesh. Turn the hearts of the parents to the children, and the hearts of the children to the parents; and so enkindle fervent charity among us all, that we may evermore be kindly one to another; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Thanks Br. I see my family as an unbelievable gift from God. They are a constant source of joy, comfort, and refuge for me. God knew what he was doing when he thought up the concept of a family unit. I can't imagine where I would be without mine. But this constantly points me to the importance of the family of faith. How blessed we are to be a part of the family of believers as well. How blessed I am to have you as a brother.
