There truly is nothing better, on this earth, than to share wonderful moments with the ones you love.  I especially cherish the time that we, Den and I, or our children can come together, near and far, and pray.  It's the glue that holds us all together, its the piece of the puzzle that makes us all complete.  I love to hear my family praying for each other; being totally free and open to share exactly what's on their hearts.  It's a rare gift I never got to experience as a child with my parents.  Back then having a relationship with Christ just meant you attended church on Sundays.  I'm so glad there was more to Him than just church; I'm also glad my family, one by one, are choosing to follow and trust (in spite of our [my] mistakes) Him and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that my kids share prayer requests with their dad and I, knowing we will go before His Throne for them.  Many times we find ourselves focusing on the struggles, keeping them tight to us, not allowing God to move us beyond them; frustrating us, causing us to pull away from the one who wants us to pull closer.  We are learning, mostly me, to leave it "all" in His hands; to let go, to trust and wait on Him.  It certainly isn't easy for someone who likes to have everything organized and in it's place, yet the blessings that overflow are unbelievable and we are then able to praise and honor Him, completely.
