This reminds me of something Mother Teresa said in an interview with Time magazine. She remarked that she loved all religions but that she loved hers the most. She said we don't know what goes on in the soul when the interviewer pressed her about why she had made so few converts in India. Your post speaks to that, too! Thanks.

“I am thankful that I am a Christian because I simply do not know how to be anything else.”

Amen, sister! As we say at our house, “I hear ya cluckin’, big chicken!” In other words, I know what you’re saying. How could I not follow Christ? I can’t fathom that idea.

Thanks for participating in our project. Good post, friend.

I too am a born again Christian and was born into a Christian family. God has blessed me and my family in many ways and yet I have seen tragedy as well. It never ceases to amaze me how He chooses to reveal Himself in even the worst situations. His faith and love has been shown to me over and over again throughout my life and I am thankful for salvation.

Your post is lovely.

Janie,

That was absolutely beautiful.

I like you was blessed to be born into a Christian family. There was a time in my life when I briefly fell out of faith (when my father died and I was 17). But, I am thankful that I had strong roots in my faith which helped me to once again find my way back into the church.

I like you struggle with why some people are born into a situation so unfair while I was blessed to be born into a middle class family. I also struggle with being given the gift of being born into a strong Christian family while others are not. I probably will never understand this, but I am thankful for these blessing which God has given me.

Happy Thanksgiving.
