I got the nicest surprise tonight. My dad enacted habits that were long ago forgotten by my family. For the first time since we've been on our own (8 months), we had dinner that was actually together, at the actual table. I can't remember the last time we did that even before it was just us. And even better, when we sat down to eat my dad immediately bowed his head in prayer. I nearly cried for joy as he spoke to our God. And another step in our relationship and life together was taken last night. We actually started doing family devotions together. It was full and a time of learning for both of us. We'd planned for ages to do them, but Dad sort of faded out and forgot about them for a while. And I lived in fear of mentioning it to him because it might be taken wrong. But on Sunday, thanks to some friends encouraging me in my position, I dared to ask about it, and now we are back on track.
I am so thankful. I stand in wonder of the blessings that God is continually heaping on my life. Why would he love me so? How can I ever show my gratitude in full?
