Don’t you see that children are God’s best gift?
the fruit of the womb his generous legacy? Psalm 127:3
I recently had the opportunity to celebrate my son-in law’s 50th birthday with a family gathering. What a joy to have families meet to celebrate a milestone birthday. More importantly, it was a reaffirmation of family. We walked a good distance from the baseball game we attended, and on that walk, there was wonderful heartfelt sharing of life. It was not necessarily intended- it just happened, as many such conversations do. It was one of those “by the way” talks that are so impactful.
I have shared in the past that many impactful discussions happen “side-to-side” rather than face-to-face. Perhaps this gives some freedom to be more open and vulnerable than in discussions that are planned to be more intense.
Whatever the reason, I will cherish such discussions with my children and grandchildren. What a blessing is family…
Prayer: Lord, we are grateful for the love of family, Amen
