Family matters. It just does. I can remember being 18 years old, ready to move out...ready to go...ready to do "my own thing!" And, while it was certainly an experience, and I loved the "freedom" that came with those years on my own I wouldn't trade my family for a single thing. Because, my family matters to me. This weekend we were so blessed to spend each day with a large part of our family. Saturday comprised of my nephew's birthday party, so much fun, so many games, so many happy children, and such a big family full of love and happiness. It made my heart happy to see Rob and my brother-in-law laughing, my Sister smiling, and all of the children running around making messes, and just having fun! That was so wonderful, and it makes me so grateful. There are so many children in our world that are now allowed to have that type of happiness, and I thank God daily that mine and those in our family are blessed to have a happy, safe, and loved up-bringing.
Sunday was spent in church, as a family..and followed up with even more big family time at the lake. I'm pretty sure we had the max amount of people on the boat as well as on the tube, but, we were making memories and having fun. We were laughing, and it was so wonderful.
Home is where we are safe, loved, accepted, treated with respect, and home is where no matter what they always love you. I love my home. I love my family...my little family right inside of this house...and my big families that I have outside of my little home.
Thank you God for family, because it matters. Have a wonderful week everyone!!!! Fall is upon us!
