Thank You, God, for Our Families

We thank You God for establishing Your people into family units. You started this process at the beginning of the Old Testament with Adam and Eve. Help us as we try to care for those who are young and the elderly. Please forgive us when we neglect our duties to them. We thank You for parents who taught us how to act in front of people and how to treat others. We also recognize how precious are those who act in place of parents. Our families taught us the work ethic. They also taught us to respect our neighbors. We especially thank You for those who bring their children up in the Lord.
