Our Family is a Circle

When grams died I found this saying and wanted to share it and some thoughts I have been having lately.

Our Family is a circle of strength and love. With every birth and every union, the circle grows stronger. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. Our Family is a circle of strength.

I was working with some raw silk this morning and although it is a pretty expensive piece of fabric it is full of flaws, nubs is what they call it. The fabric is a treat to work with and own and I love it but I was struck today by the flaws - and in it I see all of us. We are beautiful a family that is woven together with all the beauty of silk, but there are flaws with each and everyone of us. It is the flaws that make us beautiful and unique - it is what gives us the qualities that make us a whole piece. I pray that each of us has the ability to remember how much each of us means to the fabric of our lives, how much each part of the fabric means and how important we each are.

Our Family is a circle of strength and love. With every birth and every union, the circle grows stronger. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger. Our Family is a circle of strength.
