MAYHUGH FAMILY REUNION

Laura's family had their family reunion up in St. Louis this past weekend. There were people there that we had not seen for 23 years. Others we had seen a few years back when we traveled through on our way from California. Just like they have all grown a little older, but still the same people. It is always a good reminder how short our lives are here in this world. Nancy was just as fiesty as ever. Hope was busy with setting everything in order. Ken the older brother of Dennis there is only a slight family remeblance. Faith has passed on, but was on our minds. All of the spouses and friends gathering one more time never really knowing if everyone will make it back next year.We only have each other for a short time in this present age. We can't gain back this time. We can't change the past. I would ask each of us, are we loving our neighbor as ourselves. This includes family that we can sometimes take for granted. No matter what you own, how rich or how poor death has a way of putting everyone on equal footing. I would like to see my family start having get togethers again. Sometimes these things tend to cease as the older ones pass on from the present world. It is good to have these times with earthly family, but I find more and more a desire to spend time with my brothers and sisters in the faith. I so missed our time of Sunday fellowship and teaching with the brethern. My deepest prayer is that all of our family would know and follow Christ with all of thier hearts. And love him above all else.


Galations 6:7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.10 So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
