Mortality

 

Family picnic, MD, early ‘50s

     I am grateful, Lord, for my natal family and the time and place in which we have grown up together. Two more arrived in the decade after this photo was taken, and we have always loved and supported each other.  What a blessing! Not so many families are given that.  

     We are aging out, rapidly approaching the end of our lifetime together, our parents deceased so many years now I can’t remember.  Go gently with us, Lord, and protect those we leave behind, in family and world.  IJN
