brotherly love

I was sorting through some paper piles ( a never ending task) and came upon these birthday cards from the kids to Zach on his birthday. I can't tell you how these cards make me smile and make all the yukky days fade into complete nothingness. When it feels like their is no progress in the bickering, hitting , name calling area and then all on their own a moment of heartfelt love and appreciation flows forth , well its just about all i need to keep keeping on with encouraging to patience, self-control etc cause deep down they know and I know that love binds us all and in all the crappy moments their is still love.
