Family

I can not think of a better way to celebrate the Lord's day than with my family. There is much blessing with family but there is also tears. My family is very important. Today we celebrated two of my grandchildren's birthdays. Calli who is one and Trevin who turned three. They are so cute and sweet and very important to our clan. There are eight grandchildren and one on the way. Today we talked about the effect of accountability in family. The oldest grandson who is a football star at his highschool was caught drinking in his freshman year. As a family we all got together and sat him in the middle of us. We talked to him about how his actions speak to the family and how his choice hurt us. It has been two years and he is doing great. Family is like coarse sandpaper and yet it is the glue that keeps me on solid ground. We need each other, not to be in each of our business, but to get our backs when the going gets tough.

Praise God! The church land sold. Now I am looking for a building for them.
