Sunrise


 I'm grateful for the sunrise. I don't often take the time to watch, but I love the very gradual transition from dark of night, dark blue with black silhouettes, to the lighter blues and colors of daylight.

Family Prayer

 I'm grateful for prayer, and for this artwork and these thoughts that I found today on Facebook on the Gathering Families page:



If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
--2 Chronicles 7:14
Imagine a world where every family prayed for their country and all those who live within its borders. Imagine mothers and fathers who carefully teach their children how to petition the Lord in faith. Our pilgrim ancestors did just that! They sang, “We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessings“. Throughout the many generations since, that song has been echoed by congregations throughout America. “We all do extol thee, our leader triumphant, and pray that thou STILL our defender wilt be!” We still sing this song today, it has become a Thanksgiving Tradition to blend our voices with those that came before us and petition the Lord to “Let Thy congregation escape tribulation; Thy Name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!”
Gathering Families firmly believes that blessings await our land as we humble ourselves and look to God for protection. Families who not only pray in faith, but study the principles of freedom and charity will add peace to our land one home at a time. Our nation was built on courageous families who came to America in search of freedom. We must choose to be courageous again and stand tall….but first, we kneel!

Hymns

  I'm grateful for Hymns that comfort and uplift.

When dark clouds of trouble hang o’er us, And threaten our peace to destroy, There is hope smiling brightly before us, And we know that deliv’rance is nigh. We doubt not the Lord nor His goodness. We’ve proved him in days that are past. The wicked who fight against Zion Will surely be smitten at last.
--William Fowler
