I was blessed to spend Father’s Day with close friends and their family today. The group included the mom and dad, 3 of the 4 kids, a son in law, 2 young grandchildren, and a dog. Everyone pitched in to help cook and prepare the meal of all the dad’s favorites. Of course, everything was delicious. The almost 3 year old boy kept things exciting and entertaining. And the dog who was only a few months old was figuring out ways to get as much food as it could. My friend said that the get together was similar to their normal family dinner Sundays. Whoever can come is welcome, including parents and in laws. Some meals are more hectic than others, but it is all good noise. My friend and her husband said they wouldn’t change it and felt very blessed to enjoy their extended family as much as possible. I was very grateful to be included.

I Found God today in a loving family.
