Beautiful Families

I have seen some of the most beautiful families lately! This is a blog, Idk if anyone else will ever read, but God has been allowing me to experience some beautifully established families lately, and I have to write about it!!! With no dishonor to my own family, actually quite the opposite, I would like to just share my heart about what I view as a healthy, Godly family. First and foremost, I think the best way for me to start this would be to honor my very own flesh and blood. My father and mother. My father was my best friend, and my mother was my biggest fan. What more could I ask for? They encouraged and supported my dancing, advanced education, a good head full of wisdom and common sense. You know what I loved about them? They were fair, and they always equipped me to BE the one who had the wisdom and common sense to offer others. I do NOT remember my parents say thing things like, "hey, you watch and learn from the best." Even though this is a quality I learned later in life, this was NOT instilled in me as a young child. They were my inheritance. If they were both still alive, I am POSITIVE they would be highly involved in my life... together. Together, very much in love. Enjoying their time with their grandchildren. Helping and supporting me as a young person starting out my life in the Lord. I bet we would have Sunday morning breakfast and dinners every week together. I know that this would be us... it was US when I was a little girl. You know what though? I am not bitter, even though tears are falling from my eyes, I am just thankful I came from such a beautiful family. I have never really thought about what life would look like if they were still around, because I just accepted my life as it is without them. But the beauty of their legacy makes me cry. They were bright and beautiful. In love with one another and us. Kind, compassionate, giving and loving the best way they knew how.

One thing I admire about excellent families is their way to lovingly steer their children, even though they go against them. I saw this last night in a friend of mine. I have never seen such understanding and supportive parents! I could see where my friend's frustration would lie... maybe not feeling 100% supported, but I saw the unwavering hand of love from the Father guiding his child's life in the path he knew was meant for a child of his. Jesus, I just love the way you made families! They are so fun and friendly... loving and supportive. Understanding to the most furtherest stretches understanding can go! You do things WELL Lord. I just want to say I love YOU Yehwah! You are the KING of the universe! If not everyone knows Your goodness, I would like to testify of it in my life! You have been wonderful to me! I am so glad and thankful of the family you gave to me. I think about the rich families of the world. Their children are provided for perfectly! Jesus, I am treated the same way, and I would like to treat my children the same way in the physical realm! I love you. I know you have good things in store for the ONEs who love you. Who can stand on the hill of the Lord? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, and who does NOT lift his soul to another." Jesus, I have had dirty hands and have lifted my heart to another. But I renounce it all! I lay down my flesh and my own sinful desires to be known and seen by the KING of Glory! The amount of pressure your glory holds... it so heavy and I want to have the spiritual muscles to contain it ALLL!!! Jesus, I want to practice the spiritual principles you have for your children to live by. Would you fill me with knowledge and wisdom?? I want to be the best I can be for you Jesus!! You deserve all honor, glory and power!! Everything that is mine... you can have it too!!! I love you Jesus!!! SOO SOOO much! Thanks for being so generous and rich in your love for me.

Bless my family!!!

Amen.
