The Roots of Our Family

Today I am joining Lisa-Jo and friends for Five Minute Friday.

This is where we come together writing for 5 minutes without editing or overthinking.

I love this community.

Check out what everyone's is sharing on the word ROOTS here.




The roots of our family were planted with a seed 
standing before our loved ones 20 years ago. 
That moment when we said yes to each other and meant it forever. 

Has it always been easy? 
No.
There has been pruning.
But those cut branches have made room for the growth of more good.
There have been storms. 
But those roots planted have kept us grounded
when the wind and rain have tried to batter.
Oh the beauty that has grown out of that seed and those roots.

I see the fruit of it in our sons. 
They know great love because of what they have seen in us.
They have seen us love so well.
They have also seen when we haven't and learned what grace means.
They have seen hand holding and tears wiped away.
They have seen the looks exchanged across the room 
and the laughter shared across the years.
They know love.

We planted that babe.
With every moment shared.
With every word spoken.
With every action taken.
With a promise.
Forever.

"...and the two of them become one."

Genesis 2:24
