What are the riches right before your eyes?
Lynn, our hostess for Thankful Thursday, asks this question at the end of her post entitled – Entitlements or Riches. She shares some good advice about dealing with the “I deserve this” mentality.
The greatest riches before my eyes are the many members of my family. I have written about several of them on this blog, so some of you know how special they are to me.
God blesses me with my family and teaches me lessons through my family...
Unconditional love...and total aggravation
Long suffering patience...and immediate gratification
Helpfulness and compassion...and hindrances and bitterness
Moments of sheer joy...and times of deep despair
Times of praising the Lord for the treasure of family...
and times on my knees crying out for help
I am so thankful...for ALL of it!
My family is my greatest treasure on earth...no one has the same one as I have...but then everyone has the same one as I have...whether the members are related by blood, marriage, or not...
The ones we love,
that love us,
give us glimpses of the
One that is love....

This is a great post and one in which I can totally relate. My family is EVERYTHING to me. My extended family (brothers and sisters etc.) have certainly had their share of craziness and sorrow, but through it all there has been so much love. Thanks for posting this. Blessings to you, Debbie

Beautifully written, Karen. Yes, I too, am rich in family. And yes, nothing else sends me to my knees more than family! But that's where I need to be, right?
Amen! I can relate to this post! Family...God's sweetest blessing in my life.

It's so good to see people who love their families so much. Especially in today's time. That's the way God meant for it to be. God bless you. I enjoyed your post.
