In-laws & In-loves




Daily Gratitude Year 9-Day 156: Today, I am grateful for the in-laws (in-loves) or maybe the outlaws is a better description.

😊
We do have fun.
The picture is from a trip Monte and Jan made to Morton. It was fall and the time together was sweet. Some of the other siblings had left already and we were savoring the last bit of time with family.
We always get a little silly and “kissing pictures” are required. This time we traded spouses for the cheek kisses. I love my husband’s siblings and their spouses. We rarely get time together. Each gathering is a gift.
I am reminded of Naomi and Ruth. Family... grieving together... family by love if not by blood. Bound together by choice, though thick and thin. They stuck together through the tough stuff and God blessed them.
Their faithfulness to each other led Ruth to Boaz... and their lineage would lead to King David... and David to Jesus. Love changes everything.
Love always wins. Love changes everything.
Today, I am grateful for the in-laws (in-loves)
