A Gathering to Remember
Wow. What a weekend!
The picnic yesterday was quite a big event -- so big that I didn't get a chance to make a blog entry! We arrived at Franksville Park at about 10 a.m. Jenelle had to go to work at 2:30, but I stayed around past 9 p.m. Here's a photo of most of us (taken after Jenelle left, but before Dan arrived).
Today was also very busy. At church, we extended a call to someone who could very well become our next pastor, but I won't say any more about that until the candidate responds. I got a chance to go golfing in the afternoon with Dad, Todd, and Uncle Dan. I shot a 60, which isn't too bad for my first time out in quite a while. Finally, there was a cookout at my parents' house in the evening, which was another wonderful opportunity to spend time with family. I even got to play some pool.
So, the weekend is just about over, and it's time for me to get ready for work and the events of the week that lies ahead. This time is always a bit of a downer -- you spend hours upon hours having fun with relatives, and then we all have to go back to our daily routine. The last time I felt like this was the day after our wedding reception at Roma Lodge about four months ago. On that day, it was tough for me to say goodbye to my brother, and it was especially tough for Jenelle (and even me) to say goodbye to her parents.
It's just God's way of reminding us how precious each moment with loved ones can be, and to treasure them always.
