Vacation...The Right Focus

Well, it's GOOD to be BACK!!!
What a great vacation we had...we are still recuperating from so much relaxin' ...

Because I had to work last Saturday, we were unable to leave Lexington until around 5:00 PM. This meant we would arrive on Oak Island somewhere in the neighborhood of 9:00 PM...which we did. We had a wonderful safe drive down considering we were chauffeuring a 4-yr-old and a 6-yr-old! (Thank heavens for car DVDs!) Who cried "Daddy, I gotta peeeee..." (emphasis on "E") about 300 times...and NEVER in sync!!

When we arrived to the house we were greeted by smiling faces of nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, and of course...our handsome son who had ridden down earlier that down with my parents and nephew. (Grandparents take turns letting grandchildren ride with them...it's an honor...for sure)

On Sunday morning the entire family gathered in the living room to have fellowship in & with God. We sang praises...letting each child pick a song they would like us to sing. My father then shared a wonderful message from the Lord about understanding our earthly responsibilities in relation to our "own houses". It was great and definitely needed to be heard. Then, we headed for the sunshine, shoreline, and waves...

I couldn't think of a better way to start a vacation...praising the Lord, hearing his words for us, and then enjoying his creation....

The week wasn't without it's challenges...but our hearts and attitudes were absolutely focused on the Father right from the start! How awesome!

I love my family vacations...they are Priceless!!!

I'll share more about the week later....got to catch up on my 40 winks!!
