When Your Family Is Scattered

Is your family scattered? The holidays are a hard time for many. Whether the family is scattered geographically. Or scattered emotionally.

Some people are sad and lonely during the holidays.  Some days I am.   Some days I have to lean on God and trust that he knows what he is doing. 

And then I step back.  And I look around at everything he provides and I remember he loves me and that no matter what I can trust and depend on Him. 

And then I can think about something else . . .

Opening the door and welcoming you inside. . . I forget

. . . our family is scattered.  I think of  . . .

The beauty of Fall and I want to share it with you.  And I want to share it with my loved ones even if they are many miles away. 

And I think of ways to stay in touch and stay together even when many miles seperate. 

I think of ways to stay together even the miles aren't so far. 

 

And I ask God to give me hope and wisdom and give me creativity and ways to keep our family together.  And I lean on scripture. 

 

By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge

it's rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. 

Proverbs 24:34

 

I see our family as a house that God has built.  And I see everyone in it  my son, my DIL, my daughter, my grandkids (all3) and Cowboy as the rare treasures that he has placed in this house. 

 

And I search for ways to keep our house strong.  To build it up.
