Yes, I'm going to quote a chick flick. But I assure you, it's worth the quoting.
"In this life, family is the most precious gift we are given, the most sacred. Turn your back on them and that is when you truly have nothing. " Yia-Yia, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.
As I sit, I hear the numerous sounds of the most precious gift. Veggie Tales blaring, one nephew giggling, one making sound effects with his "shodures" (soldiers), some packing sandwiches for a day out, others discussing the plans for our day.
Although we know, that our Salvation through Christ is the most irreplaceable gift, family makes us who we are, and has a great deal to do with our lives.
As I look around and see toys everywhere, shoes, books, cell phones, bags, food, empty coffee mugs, cameras and pillows, I am reminded that family truly is so precious. What a blessing it is. With so many of us around, the noise level, isn't annoyance, but wonderful. I love every squeal, shout, holler and song.
Enjoy your family today. Appreciate one of the greatest gifts we are given.
