“Always remember there was nothing worth sharing like the love that let us share our name.”

-Avett Brother Murder In The City

Maybe my all time favorite Avett Brothers song.  Makes me tear up every time I hear it.  So many truths in that little sentence…so much to love.  But family can be so much more than a name or blood or same lineage.  Family is formed through relationships…doing life together…walking through the good and the bad and everything in between hand-in-hand.  Encouraging one another.  Loving one another.  Keeping it real with one another.  Loving Jesus together.  Family isn’t easy…at least in my opinion…it takes work and a lot of selflessness and God’s love working through it’s members, but it is so very much worth it.  Just feeling pretty dang grateful for my family today…my little tribe of 6…plus all the other people who care for us even though we don’t carry the same name or blood.

Yesterday was a much better day.  Today is going to be good too…I just know it.  I’m busy working all day and all my wee Kelley boys are busy playing.  Thank you for the kind and encouraging words.  Isn’t it nice to know we are just not alone in this messy, beautiful life.  I love it.  Thank you for stopping by and reading.  Crazy blessed you take time out of your day to read my tiny little piece of the inter webs.  I cannot say enough how much I appreciate you!!!

Happy Wednesday!
