The Things that Matter Most

This picture was taken a few months ago. It seems like every adult in our family was going thru some changes at work. We took a much-needed long weekend to spend together in Sulphur. We went hiking at the Nature Center, and had a wonderful time. As I stepped back to watch my family, I saw our little ones race on the trail, find rocks, ask questions and learn about springs, I realized those are the things that matter most. The job we wanted and did not get, the job we had

and did not want, or the job we got to be close to family that transferred us even farther then before, did not matter, that was just temporary, but our families are forever and it is in our families that we can find real and lasting joy.
