We had a nice little mini-vacation this weekend to Texas for a gymnastics meet for Annabeth. My parents drove up from Waco, and we enjoyed the weekend together. Today's glimpse of gratitude is the fact that as family members we really do enjoy being with one another. That may sound strange or like a given, but as I watched my kids play for hours in the hotel pool, I was reminded of the gift that they are not merely siblings but also friends. They can turn a hotel pool into underwater adventures and participate in endless amounts of tricks and jumps with no more than each other for entertainment. This is a true gift from the Lord because it is often the people we are surrounded by the most that seem to know how to push our buttons and stretch our patience to the limit. The idea of family is truly an amazing blessing from the Lord. They are the ones I so often take for granted, but in looking back over my life, it is family that make up the sweetest of memories.
