A Magnolia's Heart Beats

Proverbs 22:6 - Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

This week I'm thankful for family. This picture was taken last Christmas and shows five (5) generations! My grandmother raised my mother, standing behind her, to be a godly Christian woman. Momma raised me the same way. I raised my bonus daughter from age 6 the same way Maw Maw and Momma were raised and now that precious baby she is holding is learning, even at 10 months old, "the way he should go..."

None of us have departed from the faith we were taught.

I'm grateful for each generation represented here and for the timeless truths that have been handed down. From 86 to 10 months old, we all believe in God. I'm so thankful I was taught God's love for me and eventually came to know Him as my personal Savior and Lord. I'm praying Baby Nolan will, too, as well as the Little Liam, still in Kristyn's womb.

I'm thankful for other things this week, too, don't get me wrong. Just kind of wanted to focus on that today. That and air conditioning. It is hot in Mississippi, ya'll!

Please visit Iris, the host of Thankful Thursday, and be blessed by those who so freely share their hearts full of gratitude on this day.
