Cousins

There was a time when I would have loved to move out of state and had life all to myself. Thank goodness God doesn't give us everything we want. Friendships have blossomed, and our family has grown so much in the last several years. Jairus and Amelia are so blessed to have a brood of cousins around the same age to share their little lives with. I am blessed we spend so much time together. The boys brewing their latest hoppy concoction, Sam and I cooking and shootin' the breeze. The best gift is hearing the wild imagination of our children, and the sound of their sweet laughter rising up in creshendo over our own conversation. It is a symphony to my ears. All of our kids have their own special brand of uniqueness, each gifted in their own colorful way. Thank you Jesus for the gifts you have given me.
