SEABROOK ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA

June 8 – 12, 2015
By Kelvin E. Morales



            After traveling to Jacksonville, Florida and spending a few days with Linda’s Mom, we traveled by car to Charleston, South Carolina on Friday June 5th. The next day our son JJ arrived and on Monday 8th together we drove to Seabrook Island South Carolina where we stayed the next 5 days and 4 nights. Our daughter Maria, her husband Timothy and our 4 grandchildren, Matthew, Kaylin, Isabella and Natalia arrived on Tuesday at Seabrook Island.

The days were spent between the beach, pool, the house for supper and a good nights rest. In between all the day’s activity we managed to squeeze some time to put the above puzzle together. It measured 18” x 24”, a total of 550 pieces.

On the last night, after we had supper, I asked everybody to answer a question: What was the one thing they would cherish about our week at Seabrook? Without exception all beginning with our 4 grandchildren answered, “Being together”.

There is something very special about the act of just being together. You can find the words “one another” many times in scripture. The majority of times it is used in a positive way: honor preferring one another; love one another; serve one another; bear one another's burdens; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another in love.

It is very hard to do any of these acts mentioned above unless we are together…
           
            Just like the puzzle, we all had to take part in putting all its parts together to form the complete picture.

“Not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Hebrews 10:25

  2. Thank you Kelvin for sharing that thought.
    Simply being together can accomplish so much.
    That explains why our Creator made us to abide in a Family.
