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
So true, Kelvin. So glad, Linda, you, and your whole family could have that time together!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelvin for sharing that thought.
ReplyDeleteSimply being together can accomplish so much.
That explains why our Creator made us to abide in a Family.
