Father's homily today, of course, was about "family". What makes a family and what a family should be. I agree with his take on this....a family is not necessarily what you see depicted in a Norman Rockwell photo but rather a conglomeration of people, all with their own faults and weaknesses, who love one another, forgive one another and welcome one another. God gave us the Holy Family to help us understand that all families have good times and bad, joy and sadness, laughter and anger.
When we got home I threw leftovers and lunchmeat onto the counter so everyone could grab their own lunch. After lunch we all sat around, watching tv, reading books, snoozing and visiting. A perfect Sunday.
This evening we went to Amy's for a casual, relaxing dinner....I think that is the theme for this post....relaxing and breathing with family. We had chili and corn bread. Lots of laughs, lots of fun until at 7 pm. Mom announced it was time to go. So now the kids are all together and we old folks are home with our feet up again.
