Psalm 103:2 NLT 

“Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.”

Yesterday as we had my mother’s funeral, the brothers and I often talk about how hard life was and how tough my mother was while we were growing up. But as the service went on and each of us boys took a turn at telling our stories, I realized how blessed I was to be born into a family with structure, morals, standards and yes discipline.

We read scripture every morning and prayed every morning and evening in our home growing up, and yes we were in church every time the doors were open. We all turned out well, we all are Christians and we all go to church on a regular basis. I will never forget what God has done for me. I am blessed beyond measure!
