Family Reunion 2014

I believe in family reunions!  Our children can be strengthened and uplifted by extended family aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents.  Plus, reunions are so much fun!!!

A Time to Savor

"To everything there is a season and a time..." (Ecclesiastes 3:1) Right now is my time to savor.

For 17 years we've had babies – little bundles of joy that determine our every moment – waking, eating and sleeping (or not!). Our babies have grown to toddlers. All too soon they've walked and talked and gone to school. They've ridden tricycles and scooters and roller skates. They’ve grown out of bikes and into cars. They’ve matured and grown taller. However, more babies have always come to replace the growing children; and our arms, hearts and home have stretched longer and wider to accommodate this happy abundance.

During these busy, bustling times I’ve sometimes been exhausted and even discouraged, feeling that this hectic lifestyle would last forever – that my husband and I would never again have a moment of aloneness, with nothing to do. But now, the pendulum has swung to the very edge of our growing, and we are hanging, suspended in a window of time, before it begins to swing back – back to solitude without children.
