The daily, as of late
This photo, posted and tagged by one of my son's friends, appeared today on his Facebook page. He is with some of his college buddies at an off-campus apartment. I recognize a couple of kids around the table. One of them will be coming to our home with our son for Fall Break next week. But what really touched me and made me want to grab the photo was the caption, "Family Dinner," and the title of the album it was in, "The daily, as of late."
We humans are nourished by the sense of being valued within a community. I wish for all our children a community that values them, always.
