Hosting Family: Out of Town Company

It's so nice when relatives come to visit. The older I get the more value I see in family and All the parts thereof.
I had never thought that I would have kids. Many have that eventual plan; I was not among them. I see now that kids give meaning, purpose, and 'roundness' to having a family. They tend to draw family together and show the purpose of it. It's quite magical really. What I used to see as obligation is now a pleasure that I would be empty without. The change of feeling and perspective is really nice.
God Bless the children and the Family they magnetize.
