We're leaving here in a few hours, packing up the kayaks and heading south. We rented a boat, caught a few fish, and went for some nice boat rides. We had a few camp fires, some card games, board games, and some good songs together. It's never 100% easy sailing when you're in a cabin together with lots of different personalities for days in a row, but I was thinking about it like this: you can simply bear things, and get through it, and develop negative feelings about someone. Or, you can just let it go completely, take up a strong and complete battle, ask God for strength, and be done with bad thoughts and irritation with someone. When you have a group of people, or in our case a family, all interested in getting oil in our lamps, things go very well and there is not only peace, but brotherhood and goodness.
God has really blessed us.
It's been super special to have this time here.
We were able to reserve this because I happened to check it out FIVE minutes after there was a cancellation.
Anyway, time to finish my blissful coffee and get moving....

I know exactly what you are saying. We had 16 in one house this past week; 8 kids and 8 adults. It was a beautiful time in spite of a few challenges, and so hard saying goodbye.
So glad you had such a marvelous vacation. So needed at this time in our world's craziness.
The pictures look like so much fun!! Have a safe trip home.
Blessings.
Thank you for being so generous (as always) in sharing your photos! Looks like a great time was had by all. Love your philosophy re:getting along!
I sounds like a lovely family get away. Personalities come out more when the gathering is in close proximity to each other, but like you say just get over it and move on. The pictures are a beautiful reminder. The week flew by didn’t it? My week did too! But it was wonderful and filled my heart and soul ❤️❤️ Don’t you just HATE coming home and unpacking everything 😬😳That’s THE WORST!! Anyway you have a wonderful day today.
