Reflections along the way.

Family Vacation

Floyd Family Vacation 2010

Last week I shared a house with the 14 people in my family. Parents, siblings, nieces and nephews ate together, played together, fought together and lived together in close quarters for seven days. It’s been well over 20 years since I went on family vacation, and back then only five of us packed up the Bonneville and travelled to the beach.

I was delighted to play with my nieces and nephews, and I was enriched by the simplicity of just spending time with family. The simple act of “spending time” together is pure gift. Oh that we might see the real gifts instead of the false ones.

Six years ago, I dedicated a blog to my beach vacation. This year, I’ll simply record a few moments from the week on this blog.

  1. I am suprised that you’ns did not eat together!

  2. NOT should not have been in the above comment[sorry about that]. Nothing disruppes fellowship like if every one is fasting for 7 days!
    Am glad that you went and glad that you came back

I'd love to hear your thoughts.
