Family Photo, Mixed Tears ❤️

When memories need patience too! ✨

Scripture For Today: "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him."

Psalm 127:3

Life's sweet spots can come with a side of stress.

You try to get kids to look at the camera while the little one cries and the teen rolls her eyes.

Perhaps you feel both blessed to have this big, full family and worn out by the work it takes.

Just as your family grows in stages,

St. Benedict, whose feast day is today, wrote his famous Rule to guide monks of all ages living as one family.

Each stage holds its own gift.

Full homes make rich hearts.

Today's Prayer: Family Frame

Through the tears and grins and sighs,

As we look toward the skies,

Help us see the love that grows,

In this home that You have chose.

Let these moments, loud and true,

Show the grace You've led us through,

Frame each face with love's sweet light,

As we grow through day and night.

Lord who loves our messy ways,

Bless these shots of love-filled days.

Amen.
