Peace in the Midst of your Family

So it is August. I have had classes all summer. I am winding down and I have two more books to read for my wrap up. I am finally on vacation and I have had to time to read the blogs of my wonderful daughter -in-law Katelyn. She is an amazing writer! I am sitting in the midst of the family reunion. It's noisey and yet gets really quiet at times. Everyone is tired. Health issues for the grandparents, kid issues for the mid-lifers, and work stress issues for the young adults. We are here and comfortable with our siblings and parents and love to be WITH each other. Building community within a family.  I am blessed by my family. I hope that any time we can build relationships we will. God has plans for the world it has to do with the  caring for and taking care of each other. It also has to do with the intent in which we do the taking care. Not out of duty but out of the Love for each other and for God.
