Coming Up For Air

Good morning dear readers.  Vacation and life in general has kept me from writing these past weeks.
Our beach trip was wonderful.  The weather cooperated and was sunny every day. 

This photo was taken the evening before we returned home. I'm surrounded by grandsons Stephen and Drew (Ry missed our trip this year) daughter Traci, daughter-in-love Mindy, grandaughter Lindsey and number one son Whitney. Patriarch Ron returned home early and mmissed our "photo shoot".  We've all aged since our first excursion together ..my how time flies.

Since our trip...Whitney and family have moved into a new home; Lindsey's been practicing at cheer camp; Stephen broke his arm; Drew is working at Publix as often as he can; Traci is looking ahead to an empty nest come August when both her boys will be in college; Ron and I have revcovered from a pesky resp. infection and life goes on.

As I reflect this morning on all our activity and challenges of the past month I'm blown away (again) by God's great care of us. 

How blessed we are to have the opprotunity to spend these days together.  How blessed I am to have such wonderfully unique and fun children and grandchildren and privileged to be loved by them.

I'm reminded that our time here on earth is "but a moment".  Let's you and I not waste precious moments that we have with our loved ones.
Let's tell them how important they are to us..how they make a difference in our lives and in the world and daily let us lift them to God's throne room for His oversight, protection and blessingsand to thank our God and King for every moment He has gifted us with!
Love and hugs,
Judy
