When God said,"Let us make man in our image"
And, "It's not good that man be alone,"
He created us as social creatures
Giving us families wherein we belong.

For "No man is an island"
Interdependant are we,
How much we need each other
Kindred ties of blessed Family!

It's during this time of the season
A time opportune we've been giv'n,
To rekindle warm bonds in the family
And to excercise quality livin'.

Thank God for "The Family Plan"
And for tender ties from above,
As part of His Perfect Gifts
Indirect expressions of His Love.

God bless you, Father's and Mothers
And Brothers and Sisters, too,
And God bless us in our Families
Tahnk God they've been given to you!


To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White)

David; How beautifully said and from a wonderfully grateful heart as you have. I too feel the same way, this family God has given me is a great joy. So I am grateful for a dear brother like you, who writes such exquisite poetry too! Love, Sis

Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart.

You must have been inspired by my family portrait.... Just Kidding.  Yes, this is a huge part of the holidays, getting together with our families be it natural or church.  It seems half of the family today that my children claim as thier relatives are not related in the natural realm at all... they are just real good friends and I do thank God for them all... including you my poetic friend.  God Bless You and Your Family this Holiday Season, Bob <><

Ah, the riches found in our families, blood relatives, in-laws, those of our church, community, and definitely the family of poets here in Passions!  How blessed we are, indeed.

And I do thank Him! David this is wonderful!
We do need our families, our friends that are like family and etc...

They are all a blessing (our earthly angels)
