We are leaving in the morning for a few days in Tennessee with our family. All the kids and grand kids will be there and we look forward to being with them all.
I know it is hard sometimes to schedule something that everyone can attend, especially with the schedules they keep these days. It is not hard for us, but sometimes they have to shoe horn it in to make it work. We always appreciate the fact that they make the effort. Since we live so far apart, it takes some major driving for most everyone to get to a central location.
I hear stories of families who get together often, and I think how great that would be. Families who live in close proximity to each other seem other worldly to me. It almost seems like a fairy tale existence, but I bet there are some downsides to that scenario as well.
We have what we have. Our kids were raised to be independent of their parents, and they are. If that means that we can't all get together often, that is a small price to pay for the blessings that God has showered on each family, and He has done just that.
We have fun while we are together, and this next week will be full of that. We will enjoy each other for that short time and look forward to the next one in the future.We will have lots of "remember when we..."times and probably make some new ones.
Families doing things together and liking it. That is what it is all about. Let the good times roll.
