A Norvell Note
January 9, 2023 – Vol. 27 No. 02
Family
We look forward to times when we can be together. Then, finally, the time arrives, and we squeeze as much as possible into the few days and nights we can. We eat more than we should. We stay up later than we ought. We watch movies and games and take pictures. We get up earlier than we usually do, we talk, and we listen. We share our stories, laugh, cry, work through our differences, and appreciate our histories. We are a family. We sacrifice time, energy, and money to be with our family.
Why are we willing to plan, travel, change travel plans, adjust our schedules, and do all the things we do to be together?
Why? Because we are family.
Are there things we would change? Possibly. Are there things we regret? Probably. Is it hard work? Sometimes. Is it worth it? Absolutely.
Why? Because we are family.
Thank You, God, for our family.
