Playing Skipbo with Grandma--2008
We're going on a road trip! We still have a week left of Spring Break, so we are heading to Medford to visit Grandma and Grandpa.
Spending time with family is such a treat. When we get together we catch up on our lives, go through pictures and videos of our adventures since the last visit, play cards, eat, and just enjoy one others company. Because we live so far a part, time together is sometimes few and far between, but we relish the moments when we get be together.
Family is a treasure that I pray our children will always invest themselves in. Giving of their time, being willing to work through conflict and offer forgiveness, and making an effort to build healthy relationships. Family isn't always easy, but it's always worth it!
Lord, thank you for our family. Thank you for grandparents who love you, and can show their grandchildren what it means to go through life standing firm in their faith. Thank you for the memories we make when we spend time together. I pray that our children always find great value in the family you have given them. Even in the busyness of life, and becoming adults, may they invest time and energy into developing deep relationships. I pray that they choose forgiveness over bitterness, peace over anger, and time over absence. They will sometimes be the harder choice, but you promise your strength in all things. Lord, may we always reflect you as the God of our family, and may our future descendants live for you because of our faithfulness. Lord, you are precious to this family, forever and ever.
