It's Thurday. I am thankful.

After my grandmother's funeral last weekend, I am reminded again of how thankful I am for my family.

I have known all four of my grandparents, living near all of them for the first 18 years of my life. Not until I was in my 20s did we bury my first grandfather. Within this past year another grandfather and grandmother have passed on, leaving just one grandmother living. How thankful I am to have known them and loved them, to have wonderful memories and pictures to cherish.

Family. It's a beautiful thing. Created by God. For our good.

Psalm 68:6 "God sets the lonely in families." For this I thank Him today.
