Life is colorful. Sometimes it's just like potato salad;
when it's shared, it became a picnic.
With three young children to bring up, my husband John and I
were very 1. "Can we go on a picnic,
Mom?" my six-year-old daughter, Becky 2. "Please." I had said no so
many times in 3 months, and I decided the usual Saturday
morning chores could 4. To her 5, I agreed.
I prepared a few sandwiches and 6 a cooler with ice and drinks and called John 7.
My eleven-year-old twin sons loaded the cooler and the
picnic basket in the trunk and off we went to spend some 8 time together as a family.
About the time I got the lunch 9 out on the table, John arrived on the 10. That was one of the happiest meals we
ever shared together. The meal was full of 11. We felt a closeness that had been
hidden by work and school responsibilities for so many months. John and the
boys 12 rocks into the lake, Becky fed the ducks and I
sat quietly at the picnic table, 13 God for blessing me with such a wonderful
family.
That night as our children went to bed, I kissed their
cheeks. It 14 me what a wonderful life I had. As I walked
out of the room it dawned on me that even the busiest 15 could become a picnic when it's shared with
the ones you 16. Even though kids have now grown up
and 17 from home, I can still remember how I felt
that day while sitting at the picnic table.
Maybe today would be a good time to 18 potato salad, call all of my 19 kids, feed some hungry ducks and skipped a few
rocks into the lake. Since life is like potato salad, let's make it a 20.
