Thank You, God, for My Family

📖 Bible Verse

“God sets the lonely in families.”
 — Psalm 68:6a

🕊️ Story / Reflection

Think about the people who take care of you. They may be your parents, grandparents, siblings, or other loved ones. They help you, guide you, and love you in many ways.

Families are God’s gift to us. Every family may look different, but God places people in our lives to care for us and help us grow. 

Sometimes families laugh together, and sometimes they face hard moments—but God is always with them.

When we thank God for our family, we are thanking Him for the love, protection, and support He gives us through the people around us.
