Simple Pleasures 7


FAMILY...

What does that word mean to you???

To me, it means everything. My children and grandchildren are my life. They make living each day a delight. As each year passes by and I get older and older, they become more precious.

The SIMPLE PLEASURE of sitting on the back porch with your grandson after celebrating your son-in-laws 30th birthday, is immense. It may not sound like much to you, but to us, it's such a joy.

Last Sunday was our son-in-laws 30th birthday so naturally, we all gathered at he and my daughters new home for a birthday celebration. It was a sweet day. After our tummies were full of the yummy food and cake, the next natural thing to do was go sit out on the back porch. Poppa and almost 2 year old Titus couldn't resist the rocking chairs.

SIMPLE PLEASURES are family. Our families are who we are. They complete us. They know us better than anyone else. They know what makes us laugh and what makes us cry. They know our weaknesses and they know our strengths and they chastise us when we are heading down the wrong path. THIS is what families are all about.

Sunday was a SIMPLE PLEASURES day. Thanks God for my children and grandchildren who make our lives exciting, sweet and new every day!
