rich blessings

Mike and I haven't traveled just the two of us very often, but here in the last month, we've had two big trips; our cruise and our Arizona trip. I'll tell you the best part - the love fest we had with our kids when we arrived home. Everybody is hugging and kissing and cuddling and we are just as happy as can be cause we are together again. The love we have for each other is so powerful and so wonderful.



"Feeling the security and constancy of love from a spouse,
a parent, or a child is a rich blessing. Such love
nurtures and sustains faith in God. Such love
is a source of strength and casts out fear (see 1 John 4:18).
Such love is the desire of every human soul."

I love these! :) And it is sooo true Audra!! Absense sometimes makes the heart grow a little fonder. Not really saying that you don't love your kids all the time. What I mean is that you love them ALWAYS... However, you do need that little break every once in a while. I love these pictures. I feel the same about my family. Every night we take the dogs to run at the park or church and every night I look in awe at my little family and how much I love them! I am soo happy and content being where we are at right now. I love it. :)

That's definitely a benefit of going away and being reunited again - we realize how much we love each other. Wonderful series of pictures about our wonderful blessing of family love.
