Finding Our Way Back Home

“Somehow by grace and providence we've arrived

 to fall upon the bosom of all our family. 

To kiss warm faces and wipe the tears 

of joy from cheeks cracked and dimpled by time.  

We found our way back home.”

Family is not just a thing. Family is everything. It has a way of making us feel we belong, that we are home and have a future. 

Family is about fairness and patients. 
Family is about instilling confidence despite repeated failure.
Family is about never giving up on anyone.
Family is about getting over it and making peace.
Family is about learning from failure. 
Family is about pointing out the successes.
Family is about learning not to repeat the same mistakes. 
Family is forgiveness and seeing the good.
Family is about getting wiser with time.

The sustaining power of the family is universal. And the more we realize that we are all kin we can turn the world into one big home for everyone. This begins when families begin to form a strong union and reach out to the brotherhood of man. When this is done we will all find our way back home for the first time.

That desire to connect and reconnect with the genealogical rootstock and its offshoots formed the birth of the family reunion. Enjoy memorable moments that remind each member of your family that they are highly valued and belong. 

Enjoy your next family reunion!

Family Wisdom Quotes Part 2

You just can't gain too much wisdom. That why I have nothing but respect for the book of Proverbs. Frankly, I believe the words of the experienced one saved my life on a number of occasions. I also firmly believe I'm still alive because of an endless string of near misses. I ducked, I dodged and I leaped and hurdles over many an obstacle in my day. Maybe that's why they call me Mr. Magoo. At any rate, I'm very thankful to be alive. That said, here are a few words of poetic wisdom worth living by.

The future is the canvas of life's design. The present is the stylus guided by experience along the lines of better-laid plans. 

Let's start making

a better plan!

Saying Thanks For Good Times

Last month we gave recognition to individuals and groups who made significant contributions to the world at large with regard to freedom from slavery, lifting racial barriers and upholding freedom of religion. We awarded creators and designers of beautiful genealogy presentations.

This month we took the time to thank artists and entertainers and movie producers whose work help promote family values, social skills, good work ethics and community responsibility while providing unforgettable quality entertainment.  In this case we were taught these basic principles while being entertained in a very warm and personable way. Here are a few messages left on their Facebook pages.

Family Circus

Some say you are what you eat. Others say you are what you read.  We say we are what we celebrate most.  Thanks for sharing and celebrating every moment of family life with us. Because of you thousands are reminded to "Put Some Love In It." Family that is.

Reply: My Pleasure (and one "Like.")

Disney Pixar

We absolutely loved the movie "Finding Nemo". The very brief class exploration and score was touching. We would have liked to see more of the beauty and mystery of this undersea world from the eyes of the field trip director for another 5 or 10 minutes. A Nemo 2 field trip maybe? Only this time Nemo saves the oceans. Just a fascinated group of family reunion planners. Thanks for "Putting Some Love In It."

Charlie Brown's Peanuts

We grew up reading Charlie Brown books. Loved them. Could not get enough of them. The Sunday comics feature was just a teaser.  The books kept us reading and chuckling for hours. We were so inspired by the antics and thoughts of the Peanuts gang that our vocabulary improved exponentially, thanks to Linus proverbial input. With Schroeder's help some went on to develop a love of the arts. One past-time was drawing the characters, which led to an interest in cartooning.

Regarding family business and good work ethics, the lemonade stand helped. It led to another member pursuing a successful portraiture business. Snoopy was the dog we never had. Each character was and is an extension of the family and neighborhood.
