Blessed

I have been asking The Lord for 7 years to please somehow pull my family together
just once. Just one time have all my children and all my sisters together with my Mom. Not once in my life or Mom's has this ever happened.

My boss asked me to take some of my vacation sometime in June or early July because it would be easier for her to fill the slack w/me gone at that time with her son gone for a visit to his dad's.

Hmmmmm..my daughter Julie's birthday is the last weekend of June. I have been unable to get away for a while now, 3 yrs since I have been to Philly to visit w/Julie and the kids.......LOL I emailed Julie and asked what she was doing that weekend and asked if she wanted to go out to dinner.

As soon as she read her email, she called me. Excited about a visit then blew me away with a request. She said if I was coming to Philly we should go visit her grandmother in NY.
Thank you Jesus.
She and the kids have never been to Mom's.

I am so pyched. If this can happen, then the rest of what I have been asking the Lord for will happen.
I am so praying that this family will be Blessed with a healing that comes from being able to find ourselves from the ashes of the pain from the past and move forward.

I am hoping that this trip will bring the healing that only can come from facing it together with different eyes and perspective with help from Jesus.
Family being family.
That is my wish.
