Yay! The Gabriels came to visit!
Yeah, so, I forgot to take any pictures! What a dork!
Well, that’s what happens when Katie and I get together…we’re so busy talking and laughing that I lose track of almost everything! THANKFULLY I didn’t lose track of the kids! Lol
Brianna really enjoyed playing in the ocean with Michael and Matthew (Elizabeth mostly sat on the beach with Katie and me). Michael brought his new skim board with him, fresh from the store, and mastered it in NO time!
I was thinking about our history with the Gabriels while we were sitting there…and other times this week…I’ve known them since Elizabeth was 13 months old…Michael is 4 months older than Brianna, Brianna is just over a year older than Matthew…the three youngest children don’t remember life without each other…and while we haven’t “played” with the Gabriels in 5 years (WOW! How did that happen???) the 3 of them talked about their memories of years gone by…AND did that while creating new ones!
God is SO very kind!
I can’t help but think of eternity…if it is THIS sweet here on earth to cross paths over and over again with those we love, can you imagine what Heaven will be like??? We’ll never be in a rush, we’ll never have some place else to be…we’ll just be together all the time, before the throne, worshipping our God…the Holy One…talking about the memories of ALL He has done...recounting stories of His faithfulness…reveling in His amazing plan to glorify His own name through all of creation…AND even through the lives of sinners like me…
YOU ARE AMAZING GOD!
