Overstreet Clan

This past Sunday morning we gathered around the dining table for a time of Bible reading and singing.  Daughters, sons, and 10 grandkids.  It was the end of a most beautiful week vacationing together and celebrating the marriage of Matt and Kelly.  It was also a great reminder of what God began when he brought my dad and Leesa together 25 years ago.  

We are a crazy, blended family.  But we are a crazy, blended family rooted in Jesus Christ.  It is a blessing to have parents who live their lives for Jesus Christ with a daily dependence upon Him.


From left to right in the back (youngest to oldest):  Ashley, Matt, Jill, Kirk, Kelli, and Keri
Front:  Pop O. and Gramma Leesa

Ashley lives in Alaska, Jill in Arizona, Kelli in Michigan, Kirk and Matt in SoCal, and I am in Illinois.  It was a special time for us to be together.  A time to reflect on where God has brought us from, brought us to, and will bring us.

"And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ."  Philippians 1:6
