Easily Forgotten

It has been a tradition for several years for Tami and I to host a party on July 4th. Often we move this to July 3rd depending on my work schedule, but the party remains the same. Both Tami's family, her brother and sister, mom and dad come, my family includes my brother and mom and dad, they also come. My brother in laws mom comes and then usually several next door neighbors come. All this to say, we have a full house. Well, last night was a little different because my other brother in law's inlaws came, from Oklahoma. As we were visiting and hoping the wind would calm down so we could light up the sky, we began to talk how rare it is for all of our families to get together, and enjoy being together. We all look forward to the 4th of July. The grandparents buy fireworks but never shoot them off. They are only for the kids!! We have forgotten how blessed we are to have a family that loves each other and enjoys being together. There has been a great legacy passed down from grandparents, to parents, to grandchildren, we pray that we will remain faithful and obedient to His leading in all our lives.
We have a lot of fireworks left over for tonight so we are praying the wind will calm down. It's always a blast!!

PS we also all get together for mother's day....at the park! Happy 4th!!
