Is it worth it?

I would like to tell you one of the reasons I love living on Butterfield Farm.  Every Sunday John and I get up, go to church, enjoy a nice lunch, and go grocery shopping if I didn’t get it done on Saturday.   I usually get home and start cooking about 2 or 3 p.m. to have supper ready for 6:30.   Our family gets together every Sunday night here, and we have a meal together.  We will have grandparents, moms, dads, aunts, uncles, sons, daughters, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, adopted family (the Whatleys) and many friends come and spend Sunday evening with us.  Sayleigh will call us all together by screaming “CIRCLE UP, CIRCLE UP!”.  We will all hold hands as Sayleigh and Case say our blessings.  Sayleigh starts with “Hey God….” then our more serious blesser, Case, ends with “thank you for our pood”  AMEN!  There are squeals, laughter, crying (yes even crying), talking, running, and guitar playing going on all at the same time.  Craziness is what it is and I am thinking "Is it 9:00 yet?".  Then everyone goes his or her separate ways, and John and I sit down and say “WHEW!  Listen, do you hear that?  Nothing, absolutely nothing."  Is it worth it?  YES, it is worth every moment!  I would not change a thing.  Well, I would change one thing:  having you join us.
