What is a Family Reunion.

Have you ever been in a group of people, all of whom are related and enjoying the experience with the joy and blessings that Heavenly Father must look down on and feel the joy as well. That is what a Family Reunion is.
This past weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to share this very experience with the Del E Brady Family, at the Murdoch Cabin in Ashton Idaho.  To watch the Joy expressed at cousins who have not seen each other for two years pick up right where they left off and again are best friends for the weekend. To have little ones enjoying the attention of more Grandparent types than the world thinks if possible and , that they had no idea they had.  To know and feel that you are loved for who you are and not what you have. To smile, laugh and just out right giggle because of the joy you feel.  That is a Family Reunion.  Oh sure, there are those who don't really want to be there, they feel imposed upon for the time they had to travel and the noise involved with so many around, but they too  have to give in and enjoy the experience because love, joy and happiness are just like Jam, you can't even walk past it with getting some on yourself.
I have been blessed to be part of this family for 44 years and cannot hardly wait for each reunion as they are planned and experienced.
Thank you Brady Family.
I know that the Gospel is true, I am grateful for the Atonement and pray each and every day that I can have the strength it takes to follow in our Saviors example.
