Rare, Spontaneous, Wonderful

My brother and his wife made a long trip to spend a few hours
in our "neck of the woods" this weekend.  
Before they left, three of us siblings and our spouses, 
and my father and mother met for a meal at a local restaurant.
 I forgot to take any pictures until right at the end 
as we were preparing to say our good-byes.
 I surreptitiously dug for my cell phone and took pictures around the table
as my Daddy (top picture) prayed.
I am blessed.
And I know it.
These were rare, rather spontaneous, and wonderful hours.
Oh, Lord!
You have been faithful.  You have been good!
"…The prayer of a righteous man (and woman) is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).
 God warms his hands at man's heart when he prays. - John Masefield

  6. The images you captured are wonderful and I would surmise that everyone at that table would echo your statement of being blessed. What a beautiful family.
