Tender Mercies

Oh how I love thee, let me count the ways!! As many of you know Anita’s mom just passed away. It was as lovely a funeral as one can have. With so many siblings and grandchildren, I was honored to be asked to give the benediction. I am also very grateful to be able to have seen three of my out of town children, their families and some in-laws as well. The time went by way to fast, but we enjoyed every moment. Sadly, they have all gone home. Getting early with my grandchildren and staying up late with the kids playing games sure wore out this old man. I wouldn’t trade the time spent with family for all the naps in the world. We also went to Uncle David's to see his chickens. A big hit with the kids and the adults as well. The older I get, the more I realize how imperative it is to prioritize our time and efforts. It is extremely important to get to the good stuff first. All that other is just fluff. Though it may sound trite and redundant; I sure am having joy in my posterity. Is there any greater blessing God bestows on his children than family? (rhetorical). Thank you Father for thy tender mercies.
