Back Home and Back in the Local Swing

It was great getting away for 10 days, and getting back home.  Today is a exactly a week since we returned from our California Adventure Vacation; which actually took us into Oregon and Nevada.  This week, I've gotten back into my routine-- catching up with family, friends and neighbors.  We got sad news that a family friend G.G. passed away at the age of 99.  We went to her services today, and Abel, our son officiated.  What a wonderful tribute was given to G.G., both by Abel and her family.  I think that a life that is well spent is one in which a person yields to become a channel of God's love.  This is what G.G. portrayed in her life.  She simply reflected Jesus in all that she did, in how she responded to others, and in using her gifts that glorified God.  May God bless and comfort her family.

Summer is in full swing with graduations ending the school year.  I was able to attend one of our local high school graduations this week.  It reminded me of my own kids' graduations, of which the last one was 10 years ago when our youngest son graduated.  It was fun to see my nephew and his family beam with excitement to see their first child graduate.  Good luck in your future endeavors, Priscilla!
