Come in and visit
Spending time with family is one of my very favorite activities. Here we are—my daughter Lynette and my granddaughter Jenalyn - and me—getting a photo together at my brother Don’s wedding. Lynette’s husband Dwight is taking the picture, - and I suspect the boys, Nathan, Phillip, and Scott, are still somewhere close to the food. The wedding was beautiful - out by the water, - and brother, LaRue, entertained us with wonderful songs of love. We missed our other brother, Moody, who was unable to join us for the celebration.
I hope you enjoy your family as much as I do mine. Giving and receiving love is one of the great essentials of healthy living. It saddens me when I talk with people who do not have good relationships with family members. - - - And. it gives me great joy when I am fortunate enough to help someone develop that better relationship with other family members.
It doesn’t matter how good our relationships are, there is always room to improve. So pick out three members of your family - think of some special thing you admire in them, spend some special time with them, and express your special admiration for them. You’ll make their day -- and yours too. And, who knows? You may be surprised by an abundance of love and admiration coming back to you.
