βThe good God gave me a father and mother more worthy of Heaven than of earth.β
β St. Therese of Lisieux
Gracious God, thank you for my parents and family β the people you choose for me. Even though they are not always all I want them to be, they are Your gift. Help me to learn from them about You! I am grateful for the heritage of my life, the way You inserted me into Your human family.
