A Dimond Weekend

This weekend we celebrated love....... 60 years of it. We were amazing blessed to be taken away for 2 beautiful, luxurious nights to Martinborough Hotel where we had a “wedding”....... A Diamond Wedding anniversary celebration of my grandparents.

They continued to show us the love they have held for the last 60 years and it’s amazing to think if it was not for the love of these 2 people I would not be here today!

We filled our tummies each morning of lavish homemade muesli, croissants, fresh fruit, bacon & eggs, fresh orange juice and pots of tea, and together the 18 of us all boarded the yellow bus for a fun, adventure filled family outing..... each dawning our diamonds!

We visited the quaint fishing village and coast of Cape Palliser where we climbed the 256 stairs to the light house and finished with an enjoyable picnic lunch with the seals.

But the most memorable time was spent in our 45min (or so) of Thanksgiving. Together as a family we paused to remember the blessing we have, not only in Gran and Ga, but that we have in our God that created us. We reflected on his goodness in all of our lives and the legacy of goodness that has been laid out before us and to come.

Psalm 112: Blessed is the man who fears the LORD,

who finds great delight in his commands.

2 His children will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

We left challenged of the legacy that we will leave........, challenged to be a generation that will continue to bless the generations to come......... and challenged to live a life of LOVE.
