Day 46

"Sing the wondrous Love of Jesus.

Sing His mercy and His grace.

In the mansions bright and blessed

He'll prepare for us a place.

When we all get to Heaven.

What a day of rejoicing that will be.

When we all see Jesus,

We'll sing and shout the victory."

Day 46 - Family Day - February 15th - This song was a favorite of my grandma Williams and my dad. I can still hear both of them singing it. If Iwasn't sitting with my mom and dad in church, I was sitting with my grandma on the right side of the church, about 4 pews back from the front, over by the wall. It was her spot and everyone knew she sat there. She was a wonderful woman of God. She loved the Lord, loved what He had done for her and how He had gotten her through the grief of losing 3 baby boys and her husband at about age 45 or 50 of a burst aneurysm. She also lived to see one daughter die of cancer and a granddaughter die in a horrible car accident. She didn't live much longer and I really still miss her. She was a loving grandmother.

I'm thankful for my grandma. I'm thankful for the things she taught me about heaven and hell and Jesus, our Savior. I'm also thankful for the family that "adopted" me when I married Dale. I appreciated all they did to make me feel welcome and a true daughter/sister. I am thankful, also, for Aunt Louise and Uncle Eric who took us as their own when Mom Berkan died. They have been faithful over the years, writing, praying for us and looking after us when we go for a visit. They are wonderful Christian people, as well.

So, today on Family day that is what I am thankful for. ALL my family!!!
