I am presently sitting her waiting for my hair to curl. Today, we are taking a family portrait. Imagine that! Our marvelous church family lovingly gave me a gift card to Picture People Photography. We have lots of great snapshots, but we have only taken two formal family portraits. So, I guess it is time for another portrait. (Mom and Dad, do I hear you shouting, "Amen!") Hopefully, by the end of the day I'll have a new picture to post. So stay tuned for more, and enjoy the following quote by Ben Stilliman:
American families have always shown remarkable resiliency, or flexible adjustment to natural, economic, and social challenges. Their strengths resemble the elasticity of a spider web, a gull's skillful flow with the wind, the regenerating power of perennial grasses, the cooperation of an ant colony, and the persistence of a stream carving canyon rocks. These are not the strengths of fixed monuments but living organisms. This resilience is not measured by wealth, muscle or efficiency but by creativity, unity, and hope. Cultivating these family strengths is critical to a thriving human community.
