We had an amazing Easter at the Lovett house! With close relatives in from Detroit, we celebrated this important day with a great dinner at our house. The weather couldn't of been better, and the Easter Bunny had delivered all of his treats to each of the awaiting children.
The week with our relatives went by way too fast. It is always hard to see Carrie, Ron, and the kids leave. The girls seemed a bit more quiet than normal. Vivi seemed a bit more fussy, and Dawn and I just wanted to sit around. But we all know that we will be seeing each other soon for a graduation celebration.
I am so thankful for the time that we got to spend together. In yet another troubling time for our small family, their presence made all of our troubles disappear.
To have a family is to mean you see the goodness of God. His mercy and wisdom in the eyes of your children. The love he has for each of us in the eyes of your spouse. The joy He brings to each of us with the hug or handshake of a relative. He reminds us that with family, even though some have left, and now others are feeling broken, that with each other, we will be able to get through anything.
