Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

There is positivity floating all around, if one takes the time to look for it!

While I may not have a large and/or extended family, when it comes to genetics, I’ve actually a huge family tree.

You see, I was adopted into an enormous family. Not only do I have my own husband and children, but I am also one of many sisters and brothers. Fortunately, I am a part of the family of God, so at any given moment, I’m being prayed for and/or being gifted something directly from my heavenly Father.

Sometimes God works through my husband, while at other times He may choose to act through one of my children, or a brother or sister in Christ. Still yet, there are those times when God chooses to act through a complete stranger; someone completely unaware that they are being used to complete a task for God.

At times, the positive things done by a family member may seem rather small and insignificant. Take for example, my husband will often surprise me by picking up a special food item that’s gluten-free, dairy-free, and safe. It may not seem like a big deal, til you factor in how I don’t like to leave the apartment until needs force me to venture out. My husband often does things to make my life easier.

Now, there are things that are much bigger positive’s than others. Like when my daughter makes it a point to face-time me each week, so that I can have special MeeMaw chat’s with my grandbaby. These video chats are the highlight of my week.

there’s a positive thing that I get from you, each and every day, when we interact with one another. We read others writings, share some of our own, and leave comments back and forth together. For me, that is considered positive family connection… as I consider everyone here on WordPress to be my family, in a manner of speaking.

Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

Since the bible says that we are all brothers and sisters “in Christ”, then that means He qualifies as a family member that has done something positive for me… and you, as well!

Jesus did what no one else could… He Conquered death itself!

John 3:16 says, “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” I’m going out on a limb here, but I would definitely call that something positive!

Just sayin…

Memories…

Daily writing prompt
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.

My mother gave me birth, my dad gave me nightmares, my brother gave me scars, and my sister gave me sorrow and rejection…

My children gave me memories, while my husband gives me such unconditional love and encouragement.

My Heavenly Father, who holds all my memories in the palm of His mighty hand, allows me to hold onto the good ones and let go of the bad!

These are my hearts desire…

All three children born were miracles!

My best friend!

The best thing this man ever did for me, was saying yes, when I asked him to marry me! Neither of us realized at that time, how desperately we needed each other, and in ways we hadn’t even imagined. I am eternally grateful for the chance to walk side by side with this man, from the ashes of both our lives. He loved my daughters as if they were his own, and I feel the same for his children. It always amazes me, what love can overcome…
