I grew up in a mixed religious faith family - Dad was Jewish, mom had been raised Southern Baptist, they decided to raise their kids Methodist. We went to services sporadically but were taught at home to be faithful. I married & wanted to raise my boys to learn more about their faith so took them to church/Methodist regularly until they were teens & didn't care much for the atmosphere there. Years later I went thru a divorce & altho I didn't actually attend services I became much more faithful & studied more & that has gotten me thru a lot. In fact I strongly believe it was an act of faith that brought me where I am now - moved to this state not knowing another soul. That's kind-of a long story, but it happened because of a short window of time prior to my divorce & deciding where to move.
eta: I find things to be grateful for EVERY DAY. Before we married, my current husband and I went through a lot of questions to answer to get to know each other. Many were faith-based. We share a lot of the same beliefs and continue to do so.
