Today was a truly wonderful day! My mother in law turns 60 tomorrow, but we were part of an elaborate surprise birthday party held for her this evening. Her brother and two sisters from the eastern United States flew out for the event; all four siblings haven't been together under the same roof in about 40 years. What's more, my brother in law, his wife and the majority of his children drove in from out of state as well. Between family and friends, the house was packed.
Four months of secret planning, covert phone calls, carefully targeted text messages and choreographed entrance strategies have finally paid off. My mother in law was genuinely surprised this evening, as wave after wave of family entered the dinner hall to greet her. As you can imagine, tears were flowing, and laughter was enjoyed by all. I'm so thankful to have been a part of such a wonderful plan.
Thank you Lord, for family. Amen.
Good Night
