I’m sitting in the family cottage – 9:30 pm on a Sunday night.  My dad, sister and brother and their families have come up for a visit.  As I write this, I’m surrounded by the sounds of the kids playing a wild, crazy and loud game of Monopoly.  The two dogs are moving around the cottage, and a storm is raging outside.

One could easily perceive this as an enormous distraction from the very serious task of writing about life, hope and abundance.  And, as you’ve no doubt guessed, it is actually all of those things – it is joy, it is life and it is perfect.

Another example of the wonder of children being crazy, being wild and being alive.  Nothing more to say …
