There is nothing quite like a family reunion. Getting together with those who haven't seen for a long time, sharing food, talking about the good 'ole times...it does that heart good doesn't it?A few weeks ago (well, it's been almost 6 now, guess I'm behind on the blogging!) our whole family returned to Monterrey for the wedding of Becca and Rodolfo. Being back in Monterrey for nearly a week was quite the whirlwind of emotions. Seeing our friends, spending time in our community, getting to worship with our church - there were plenty of highlights to say the least. But one of our favorite moments was spent right in our old house, right around our huge table, with our boys.
We sent the alert out, and invited even those who have moved out to come back and join us for a dinner. It just so happened that it was Saul's birthday, and it was the perfect way to be able to celebrate - everyone together. It was a good dose of medicine to greet each one with a huge hug, to catch up, to laugh together, to hear them make fun of one another. To me, the entire night was nothing short of gift, and it wasn't even my birthday! Thank you God, for the gift of spiritual sons, and thanks for the gift it was to spend time with them. Thanks for the gift of family - you are the giver all things good!
