“There’s so much to be grateful for, words are poor things.”*

Monday again and daughter #2 and DN are heading home to Maryland. The long weekend rushed by as usual.
We had fun toasting our smart cookie with friends and family.
We also had fun visiting her wonderful wedding venue…
and there was a whole lot of good instagramming going on…
A good time was had by all (to say the least)! Everyone was home together. What could be better?
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who settest the solitary in families: We commend to thy continual care the homes in which thy people dwell. Put far from them, we beseech thee, every root of bitterness, the desire of vainglory, and the pride of life. Fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge, temperance, patience, godliness. Knit together in constant affection those who, in holy wedlock, have been made one flesh. Turn the hearts of the parents to the children, and the hearts of the children to the parents; and so enkindle fervent charity among us all, that we may evermore be kindly affectioned one to another; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (BCP)
