I attended my nieces wedding this past weekend in Iowa City, Iowa. It was a lovely service which was meaningful and rich. Amy Miller married John Hershberger and began a rich and wonderful journey.
The picture above is of Amy and her grandmother, my mother at the reception which was held in Wellman, Iowa. This facility was quite nice for a small midwest community. I was very impressed.
My wife and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary the following day.
I was reminded of the blessing these family relationships are for me. These activities, which bring together many generations, are so sacred to me. I had a great time.
I was also reminded how fleeting life is. It happens so quickly. I saw folks at this wedding, which I have not seen for over 25 years. It seems like yesterday that I graduated from high school and now my youngest has graduated from college.
Today, give thanks for the meaningful relationships in your life. Take some time to reach out to family members. Live today as though it is your last. Live with purpose.
