Saturday

Good morning friends, family and world. I was without computer yesterday, I missed you all! I hope all is well today for you and your family.

Speaking of family, last night I had an "ah-ha" moment. We invited 4 other couples for dinner. This was not a random you call come dinner, but 4 other specific couples were inivted for a reason. One couple is fairly new to the group. They are in a newly formed relationship. It is amazaing watching each of them grow and change, I am glad that they are a part of something so amazaing... relationship!

Speaking of relationship. I have spoke before about a "family of friends." I have friends all across this contienent. I also have people who although not related by blood we are related by everthing else that symbolizing a family unit.

The three remaining couples... One couple has almost reached their 1 year anniversary. Both learning, having fun and growing through some difficult life journeys. Before they left last night we had a converstion about some of all of that. We closed by sharing some heartfelt words and joining in prayer, for me it was most meaingful, authentic and healing. An other couple facinates me. They seem so uncomplicated dispite what ails them. I am in awe of their automatic ease in which they live their life. They seem to "stand" through any challenge and they keep smiling. I congratulate their life experience and am glad to call them family.

Speaking of challenge, the last couple. We stood up for them when they were married in church. It was one of the biggest honors I could have been given. We shared some challenges in the last year that didn't bring us together it actually allowed us to grow a part. At times I was just fine with that. As I continue to learn, experience and readust things make sense. As I get older, my mom gets smarter... LOL. These two people mean a great deal to me, and realized last night how much they loved me (us) AND that anything that kept us from being in right relationship with each other, was trivial, small, and insignificant. As I tried to explain some of this as they left I was choked up enough where I could not talk. I was given a known wink, look and hug. In that moment I felt love, gladness and family. Again. A lesson in love by family, with family and for family.

As we travel through our lifes journey, we will encounter hurdles, mountains (coming down and going up!), and a river or two. A few thing will get you through any of it. Compassion. Commitment. Communication. Prayer/Meidation. I know I add the last... family. Albert Einstein had this right... "Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!"
