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

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
