“Gracious God, there are so many who live alone in this world without family to encourage them, listen to them, support them. Yet, You have given me blessed, placing me within a human family that gives depth and meaning to my life. A family that offers me love no matter what I do or don't do.

Fill my heart with the gratitude that never takes such a blessing for granted. When I am thoughtless or careless in my relationships with those you have given me, give me the grace to ask for forgiveness.
When I feel hurt, give me the grace to forgive and forget the wrong. In moments of joy with my family, give me a heart of joy. In moments of sadness, give me a heart of compassion, that we may live in harmony. That we may offer each other the same love that the Lord gives us as His children. I ask this with a heart of gratitude for all that You have given me. Amen.”
