Today we are still at the Lybbert family reunion at Bear Lake. It has been really fun. It's nice to hear some of the same sayings, joys, and frustrations that I experience or use. It it's neat to be surrounded by a lot of people who value large families and the gospel. I have felt Heavenly Father's love through others. What a wonderful gift! Being with my extended family helps me sees the bigger picture. Life cycles and phases are clearly evident. Aunts and uncles who were "just yesterday"in the "lots of little ones" stage are now empty nesters. Children have grown up ever so quickly. Some of our large family have died. Some have chosen a different plan than the one that brings happiness and eternal joy. Some are missing because of that. Some live far away. Some are rich, some poor, some healthy, some fat, some Marys, some Martha. All family and all loved no matter what!
