The Oregon Coast is still about 3000 miles away . The family time here in
Arkansas has been delightful . This house is so large it can swallow us up when
needed , and then bring us back together in a few moments . Our meals have been
communal , Evenings have given themselves over to playing games and sharing
Photograph albums that Jim and Becky have prepared of their lifetime .
Most of the sounds are laughter and joyful interaction . I have taken a lot
of family photos , mostly candid's. hopefully adding more memories for the
Family to treasure . Been thinking a lot about the pleasant places that the
Lord has prepared for us , and how much family means to us . I think most of us
will go to our graves thinking not about things and stuff , but thinking about
the people that walked with us as we took life's journey .
Some of the children here ( there are 7 today ) will probably remember
this week , some won't , each will have different memories , and some time in
the distant future these children will have children of their won and they will
be gathered around a sofa or kitchen table trying to remember that week in the
Ozarks .
Life is both linear and circular ...The constant in life is life itself .
Life repeating itself ...sharing itself , embracing itself . Stuff and things
go away , fences fall down , corrode or decay ...But His love endures forever
....
