FAMILY

Today we were so fortunate to be able to take the day and go north to the SD ZOO's extension, the Wild Animal Park. Mama takes Luke to the zoo a lot with our passes but we hadn't been here yet as a family. What a great day, beautiful weather as usual, but with one another in a new place. God is so gracious to allow us the opportunities to hang together at such great places to observe and enjoy His creation. We saw the lions, giraffes, elephants, a blad eagle and many other amazing animals. And the landscape is really beatuiful too. Rolling hills, tons of trees, and boulders littered along the way.
It was such a sweet time as a family, and I thank God for verses like Psalm 127:3 which says, "Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward." We are so blessed to be able to enjoy this life with each other and now our son Luke. He is a reward.
He is such a joy to our hearts and God has given him to us for His and our enjoyment. Luke
was able to see some birds for the first time and who knows what else he took in, but we are so grateful to have been given such a great gift to teach and love everyday. God bless you,
Love,
Joe, Monica and Luke
