a gift given, made, sacrificed

Praise God from Whom ALL blessings flow…

#386   given invitation to our family reunion…having been over 16 years since I had seen most of them.

#387  potluck meal at reunion…some mean cooking made and oh so blessed with so much food!

#388   Visited graveyard in the small,  town.  My great-great grandfather who fought in the Civil War and all other blood-relative who sacrificed their lives to fight for our freedom, including my grandfather who fought in WWII.

Thank God for family…close and distant…messy and blessed…simple and complex.   Family.

Story after story.

Picture after picture.

Memory after memory.

Wrinkles and freckles.

Kids climbing on rocks, swinging in hammock.

Chilly and damp spring evening but warmed with fire in pit and fellowship.

Tummy sore from eating too much and laughing so hard.

Reunited.

Until next time…
