Reflection

I've been reminded this week of the memories made with the oldest

and repeated down the line to the youngest.

After ten years . . .

things such as the first swing under the tree,

smelling the flowers on the patio,

exploring the toybox or the kitchen pantry,

playing teasing games
or being comforted . . .

each moment repeated, is a gift all over again!

 

But the added joy now is to observe the maturing steps of the older ones -
their growth, not just in a physical sense,
but in a relational and thoughtful way. . .
revealed in their spiritual sensitivity and encouraging words.

 

Family consists of unique relationships
on different levels.

 We have today to celebrate . . .

and we do so with gratefulness!
