What is a family? Other than being the God ordained institution designed to be a refuge from the evils of this world, and by which we help our offspring hopefully replicate Godly traits generation after generation… I like to reckon it somewhat to a miniature circus. Semi-controlled chaos. Shoes, clothes, and toys on the floor and sometimes strange places like the… fridge, or mailbox. High pitched screams of joy as the kids play with the dog in the den. Sniffles, colds, etc. Wacky schedules that sometimes work… and sometimes don’t. A miniature circus… the family clown, the family juggler, the family ring leader, the lion tamer, etc. All different talents coming together to make the miniature circus work in it’s own way. Finally, deep pains that no one would volunteer for, and amazing joys that no money could buy. Did I get that last line from a Hallmark card?
