A family is a treasured gift from God, our heavenly Father.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eDue to circumstances beyond our control, our family was broken by our mother's untimely death.  By faith and God's grace, our father was able to keep us together as a family unit.  It takes much prayer and wisdom to raise a child and especially four of them.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNow in my own elder years, I am very thankful for this gift.  How very empty and alone I would have been without knowing my father and brothers.  Without being a part of this common ancestry and lineage.  Wondering forever: Who am I?  Why am I here?  Instead I have inherited this unity, singleness of heart and bond of understanding that begins on the day of birth upon bonding with mother and father.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFamily! Treasure it. Hold each member to your heart and never let them go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WestBow Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47157063319792,"sku":"9781490830940","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781490830940_p0.jpg?v=1763658545","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781490830940","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
