My Quiver is Full Indeed.

Behold children are a gift of the Lord...

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.

How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them...
(Psalm 127:4-5)


This photo takes priority today. It was taken yesterday after morning services, but we were together since late Friday night up until this morning. Now we scatter. Paige and her parents will be joining David and the his girls at the Oregon Coast for their annual family time, Betty and Patty will be at the Oregon Christian Writers Conference south of Portland this week, Edwin will be working, and Geoffrey and I will have to batch it for a few days.

What joy it is when all the kids and grandkids are together. The "cousins" really like being with each other and they like exploring Papa John's acre, especially the orchard. This year's currants are history and the little yellow flowers across the lawn made for many bouquets to share and weave into crowns.

Thank you family for new memories, many hugs and precious laptime, sweet jokes and teasing, and a chance to lavish some love upon each of you.
