Bright Circle

A long time ago when darkness fell, families would gather in the living room. Father would clean his gun, Mother would sew, Older Brother would work on a puzzle, Older Sister would knit, and the little once would tumble around with the dog. Sitting in the living room with family is a precious thing - a time to hear stories, or listen to the radio. But enjoying the family nowadays is not as important to many as it was before. Everyone rushes off to do their own things. Let us not lose this wonderful feeling of family togetherness. Let us come into this bright circle of love and laughter together.

Rachel, your blog is really nice! I'm going to have to share it with my almost 13 y/o (after Christmas as I think we're going to allow her to start a blog ...).

I enjoyed reading this post! Families are so busy today, pulled in various directions here & there. I am saddened to see the statistics of how few families actually sit down and share a meal together, at home.

You keep blogging. Your words are a blessing!

In Him~
