What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life - to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
-- George Eliot



Last night after my husband arrived home from a business trip and all my little ducklings arrived home from school and sports, my soul heaved a huge sigh of peace. We ate homemade pizza around our big table and talked. As my oldest son makes plans for his future, it has reminded me how quickly time has gone by since I held him for the first time. How quickly the time passes as all my kids grow up and become the people we have been raising them to become. How grateful I am that there are still babies in the house to savor for a little while longer.

Take the time to experience the JOY of family. Give your kids the memories of home that they will carry in the hearts and souls wherever their future may take them. That kind of joy travels.
