Family Reunion

Early in August, we had the pleasure of being with the extended Dodds family (Jason's mom's side) for a big reunion. About 60 family members of which 49 were able to attend. That is four siblings and all their families. It was great fun and a real gift. I have not felt so encouraged in a long time. We fellowshipped in every sense of the word. Ate together, shared living spaces (and bathrooms), sang hymns for hours one night, played outside, ate some more, took naps, looked at pictures, laughed and worshiped. A tiny glimpse of how God works in and through families. And what a GIFT! children are from the Lord.
