Thankful

As I begin my journey into the new year, one thing that I am grateful for is having parents who love the Lord and who portray Godly examples not only to their family but to everyone they encounter.

Last Christmas,my siblings, their families and I, travelled back home for a family reunion. After Christmas, we organised a Thanksgiving service/celebration for our parents. Sometimes a Thanksgiving service for someone is usually held when they're gone from this world and they don't get to hear the positive words being spoken about them. We thought we would 'flip the idea' and hold one for our parents when they were still healthy and well. We wanted to celebrate their lives and share it with friends, families and loved ones. It was meant to be a surprise for them but at the last minute we decided to let them in on the plans so they were not too surprised on the day, considering their old age!!




It turned out to be such a joyous occasion.

Thank you Father for the gift of loving parents.  I am thankful for the Godly heritage!
