In the rat race of life we seldom slow down enough to really spend the time with our families we would like. Recently my brothers and sisters and I spent three days together. In my life time we have done this three times since we all dispersed into the family/work world. I will be 67 on Friday so what I am sharing with you is not a good record. About a year ago I began to share the notion with my siblings and they said set a date and lets do it. What I am sharing with us today is "set a date and make it happen." Holidays are a good time to do these things however you may want to set a time when we have less hectic pace in order to truly relax and have some good fun walking down memory lane. There is a time for all the family at large to gather and enjoy pandamonia. I find that the smaller setting can be more intimate for a special time of reafirming our love.
These gatherings don't have to be elaborate but they do need to be accomplished.
Barb and I are heading West after church today to do just that. Before the week is complete we will have enjoyed a bit of time with Phillip and Tiffany and Shanna and Michael and the bell of the ball "little Sophia" our first grandchild. There will be more, but for now, she gets all the attention. Next year, should our Lord tarry His return, we will enjoy two (or more) little ones.
Take time for your family. It's the one you have.
God bless
