Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. (NLT) -Psalm 107:1 We witness God's love for as we get together with our loved ones. Relationships may be difficult at times but God has brought us together for a reason. If love of family filled the air, let's be thankful to our heavenly father. If it's been a challenging day dealing with siblings, parents, cousins or in-laws, lean on God even harder and trust that there is a greater purpose for the events that have taken place.
