A Sign

A sign in front of a church said Restoration. We were on the way to a Christmas parade with my neice, her husband, and their new baby. We've had a lot of separation in our family, for years, that my Dad tried to remedy, though he was mystified by it. When he passed we all starting talking again because it somehow opened the door between us and, honestly, we had to. So here we are a little over two years later, talking, living, going to parades. I was really happy to see that sign.

    Hi Sandi! I think seeing that sign would have made me smile too. God is so inventive, isn't he? I'm so glad for you that your family is closer now than ever, and can enjoy simple joys together, like a Christmas parade. I'm sure your dad is smiling down from heaven!

    Blessings,
    Ceil

    God is always in the restoration business. That is why Jesus came to earth in the first place...to RESTORE us to the Father. How wonderful that you are experiencing this first hand in your family today. Beautiful.

    That's neat, Sandi. I will pray for your family to continue healing. It can be especially painful during Christmastime. Our family was divided after the passing of my father for years- we're finally starting to get back. In fact this may be the very first Christmas we're all together since 1999. Praise Be to God! See? all the families need prayer - Satan is constantly chipping away at the foundation of love - and we can't have that!

    Blessings to you this Christmas and always. Hugs. ♥

    This is very nice that you are talking, living, and enjoying together.. it is very much needed in life.. sometimes we become too much preoccupied with our own needs, we forget the others in our life..

    I love the word "Restoration". It's truly one of the most beautiful words in our language, and so fitting to consider at this time of year. Christ is the ultimate Restorer. I'm so happy you've witnessed restoration in your family. Enjoyed this post so much. Hugs.
