A happy family

We spent yesterday in Indianapolis with my sister's family. The girls went shopping and the guys went to a ball game. When we reunited at the Faris house, I passed Nora off to her dad, showed him my purchases, and heard the tales of the ball field. As I chuckled at Stephen's story of attempts to catch a foul ball, Ellie (our niece) came up to us and said, "You are a happy family." It was so cute and made me all warm inside. Adults sometimes make polite comments that don't reflect reality, but children rarely do. I'm glad we enjoy each other, love each other and that others see that. Truly happy families are only possible by God's grace. I'm so grateful that Nora's aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents love the Lord!

Yes, having a good family is great (and you have a good family). Within the first five minitues that I met Ellie (at least the first time since she was a newborn), she said she thought I should go to her church and wanted to know when she could come over to my house.
