It had been too long since we’d been to NY to visit Mom’s mom and see extended family. Thankfully, even though we hadn’t been up there in a year and a half, we had still seen everyone a couple times…. it had just been south of NY. But all of us Neelys were very excited when Mom and Dad told us we were planning a trip north right after Christmas!! It is such a joy to be able to visit with family, have meaningful conversations, work together, and just enjoy being together!! We are so blessed to have family we can talk over spiritual matters with. It was a time of “iron sharpening iron” and “brethren dwelling together in unity!”
Hey Neely Team! It sounds like your whole family had a great time together.
We have a tradition of going to our Grandparent’s House the day after Christmas. We eat all the fixings, read the Christmas Story, and open gifts together.
It is always great to see your family. Today we had my Aunt Eddie’s Funeral. We were able to see some family members that we haven’t seen for at least two or three years. We all had a great time fellowshipping with each other.
Lovely pictures. I think my favorite is ‘Strolling through the trees’
Great synopsis of our week, Jessi! What a blessing it was to be all together again. For me, the highlights were definitely working on the trees/ firewood and all of our theological discussions. It truly is an amazing gift that we have that close, common bond in Christ with our extended family. To God be the glory! May we cousins be faithful to pass on the rich heritage that we have been handed!
