Today we celebrate with friends another wedding!  It's fall-like weather with warm days and cool mornings and nights....the past months have been glorious for these precious celebrations of marriage. What a privilege to be able to share these joys with dear friends.

This morning the family sat around the table eating bagels and enjoying the time together.  Kimberly and Luke arrived last night and Nicholas popped over last night and again this morning.  It's been a while since all the kids were "home" and we were able to break a little bread together.  Brings back precious memories of yesterdays and hopes of more tomorrows!  I thank God for these special times!

I slept so soundly last night....makes a big difference when the "security system" is back in place!  I woke up refreshed and anxious to spend the day with my sweet family.  I pray that all of you enjoy the day and have an opportunity to be with those you love.  If you can't physically be with them, call them by phone or drop them a line....it might just make their day and bless yours!  "Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.  Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisifies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's."  Psalm 103:1-5
