Boaz

My church was having an egg hunt , cook out today free to the public ...............but we didn't go . Went to a familys Easter reunion in a small town about 20 miles east of us . I'm not any kind of blood kin to them but adopted them about 25 years ago, they in turn adopted me and later Becky . They call me uncle Boaz , all the young one's consider Becky a cousin .
This was one of the most dysfunctional familys I ever saw . One was having affairs on the side , one drank and tried to commit suicide , one is autistic , two are atheists , 3 are from India but Christians , one has Alzheimers . Two are Iraq/Afghanistan vets , two RN's , college professor , corporate manager , justice of the peace . I truly consider them family .
They fought , hated , and did awful things to each other , sibling hatred , just non stop trouble . They maintained contact with me .
This was the first time in probably 15 years they all gathered , some driving a good way .
Becky got to be the pit master .

It was a perfect day , everyone was glad to be there , they worked together , it was fun .
I have prayed for them a long time and the reward of seeing them today was amazing . There is hope .
