Around the table....
I was reminded yet again of blessings early this morning...Several years ago, I worked through all of our family photos, scanning book's worth to make books for my children...now those photos are on my computer and they scroll through everyday...I see babyhood to adulthood of each of our children as the photos change by the seconds all day long...many were celebrations of some kind around a table at grandparents, our home or wherever...smiles, laughter are portrayed in succession one after another...so many blessings over the years, it is hard to count...
Thank YOU for the blessing and gracing our home with the children You lent us...each has brought their distinctive giftings, challenges, growth to our lives...they were planned as a heritage to us...their smiles and trials were and are used to build lives that are continue on...
I thank You for the gift of seeing and being a part of any grandchildren You lend as well...as You see fit...what a heritage each child and grandchild are...blessings unmeasurable ....
Psalm 127:3-4 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.
Psalm 128:1-6 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.
You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house; your children will be like olive shoots around the table.
Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion; may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
May you live to see your children’s children— peace be on Israel.
