Day 17: Gratitude focus – A parent or grandparent
Quality or name of God – He performs miracles
______________
“You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.” (Psalm 77:14, NIV)
Seldom have I attended a Bible study where the question did not come up: “Does God still perform miracles today?” The answers are always varied and passionate. In fact, those who read this post may have differing views as well.
In response to that, today’s thoughts will be briefly stated in one sentence that I trust will encourage you as much as it does me. So…here is what I know and what matters to me in answer to the question of miracles:
My God can do what seems impossible! (Luke 1:37)

“The family should be a closely knit group. The home should be a self-contained shelter of security; a kind of school where life’s basic lessons are taught; and a kind of church where God is honored; a place where wholesome recreation and simple pleasures are enjoyed.” (Rev. Billy Graham)
