Family Vacation - A True Blessing

I love this picture of my kids. It represents so many things to me. Obviously, it is just a good memory of our time together. But more than that I see three blessings that have changed my life inevitably and teach me countless lessons. So individual and different are Holland, Chambre, and Heston, but ultimately they are the same in family. It reminds me of how Christ sees us - all so different but all serving one ultimate purpose - to draw others close to Him by our love and service to one another. I love the "peacefulness" of this photo. Can't you hear the ocean waves and feel the ocean breeze just by looking at it? We stopped by Galveston on our way to a wedding and had one day of just playing together here on this beach. It was truly one of the most special days I have ever had with my family~
