"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up."
My family has been gifted a wonderful treasure, a Godly Grandpa and Grandma who love their Lord and their family. My parents recent labor of love has been to create a wilderness retreat where the families of their 5 children can gather and share family time together.
Last weekend we enjoyed the fruit of that labor as pieces and parts of the various families melded as one for a whirlwind of activities. There were lazy afternoons at the river, tea parties in the woods, airsoft wars, little princesses all dressed up, and loads of food prepared and very quickly consumed.
Roll call totaled up at 27 this year: 2 Grandparents, 3 Aunts, 2 Uncles, and 20 (out of 27) cousins!
