Family Mother's Day Celebration Was Blessed!

This Mother's Day was celebrated in our family home with 6 Mother's present.
Lynn, Britt, Terry, Carla, Ashley and myself.
It was as near  'perfect' as I've ever seen....for me...
All of my family gave me the gift that I asked for...that being ALL would go to my church with me and then return to our home where we barbequed Shish~K~Bobs and  delighted in the children's antics.
Having Chuck & Terry home from Africa, temporarily, helped complete our family togetherness.
Missing was 'Pipo' Chuck and Lil Turkey and Vinny. Airboats needed major re-hauling with cousin Chris and others help as well...
Seeing our dear prayer partners, Abby and Barbara, in church was like a family reunion.
Joshua, Dylan and Kason, (twins arrived later) were good in church until Uncle Chad started picking or thumping them on the head every now and then.
I whispered to Britt, "Heaven done come to Earth".
My Mother's heart rejoiced in this special moment in time to be so blessed with this Family of Faith and Love......AND CHILDREN!
..........Our Family Psalm 128, which we read every Christmas.....certainly was alive this day....
"Blessings on all who reverence and trust the Lord-on all who obey Him!
Their reward shall be prosperity and happiness.
Your wife shall be contented in your home.
And look at ALL those children!
There they sit around the dinner table as vigorous and healthy as young olives trees.
That is God's reward to those who reverence and trust Him.
May the Lord continually bless you with heaven's blessings as well as with human joys.
May you live to enjoy your grandchildren!  (and Great-Grands)
And may God bless Israel!"
                           Chuck and Matt with babies, Jude & Eli....
Carla tries to organize and put some 'order' into the food line as 'the boys' wait patiently...NOT!!!!
  We have so many 'baby hogs' in our family that it does no good to 'wait your turn'...
Finally Brian gets to hold one of the little ones.
 Dylan & Kason clowning around while Moms are busy being.....MOMS!

The 'mess' is cleaned up everywhere, order is restored, spots are cleaned from the carpet,
 the swing is silent.  The family came....and went....
I am at Peace....I am CONTENTED with life.....
the Gift of Life....All is Well!!!
