Day 28- family time

Luke 1:48 From now on all generations will call me blessed

Tonight we watched our cute niece Lily, almost one, and our nephew Brian, 12.   Lily has the most scrumptous cheeks of any baby I have ever met, and she has this cute pouty bottom lip.  She is adorable from head to toe.  We had so much fun playing, eating, and I even was able to sing and rock her to sleep.  She was a giant ball of love.  I know we are beyond lucky to have our families close to us.  We are able to have my wonderful mother-in-law love and watch our boys while I work.  Jacob's dad and step mom have their own special night with Wyatt where they get to have dinner and sing and dance to rag-time jazz on the piano.  Watching Lily tonight reminded me of how blessed we are and how our future generations will be loved and raised to be close.  I know God promised blessings for a thousand generations to Israel, and I thank him readily for that promise.  For that good-fortune and love.  I do feel like family and future generations are a blessing.  They are a binding glue that let's our and God's blessing stand the test of time.  So thank you God for letting me live out and watch your promise unfold, for I count my blessing in my kids and others daily.
