Thank-you God, For Families

It is Family Day in Ontario...

 We are looking forward to spending it with our family's newest member,

Brantley James Curry (grandson born on Jan. 4)

We thank-you God, for families

They turn a house into a home

And make a life of memories

With people we can call our own

We thank-you God, for families

And pray we never fail to find

The gift in what soon slips with ease

To art-galleries of the mind

We thank-you God, for families

The fuss and mess whereby we learn

To give and help, say thank-you, please

And remember to wait our turn

We thank-you God, for families

And hope that we never forget

To cherish mercies such as these;

Life’s silver cords not broken yet
