In a few days, I will be leaving for Marshall, AR and the Treat Family reunion. This picture was taken many years ago. I am the one on my mother's lap. My older brother, Jim, is beside me.
Each reunion is missing a few more. My dad came from a family of eleven kids. When we went to see my grandparents, there were always several cousins sharing the beds and getting along was a necessity. Their little house seemed large, but when I return, I realize just how small it was and how fitting everyone in was a major accomplishment.
Life is like that front bedroom with three regular beds touching each other and a path between. Life is full of making things fit and finding ways to successfully achieve an impossible task. It was not always comfortable, but when I remember those days, I am filled with memories of love and fried chicken, fresh tomatoes and cornbread.
You can find a way. Deuteronomy 1:33 says, "...who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go." The Israelites didn't always listen, but if you will, He will give you the answer!
Love this picture. He is diving for dinner and looks successful!
