What would your house say about your family if it could tell the story?
Families are messy. Anything can happen and most things do. Everyone in a family brings a unique piece of the family story in a home. Memories, good and no so good all work together to weave a story that is special and a one-of-a-kind family history.
I loved that the parents prayed as a couple, with their children and set such wonderful example of prayer's importance in life. Their example of unconditional love, acceptance, forgiveness and a living picture of how a family should love and respect each other is at the heart if this story.
Prayer is important to the Bailey family, but we must remember that prayer doesn't change God's mind about anything. It's important to remember that God's perfect plan was set before creation. He does not change, His plan doesn't change, but our fervent prayers can change us in so many ways.
A beautiful story. Oh, and don't forget to tap the door frame twice when you go out of the house.
