Blest Be The Tie That Binds

The Lee and Betty Benson family reunion has commenced at a rambling old home in Sale Creek Tennessee on the main channel of The Great Tennessee River.  What started out as two adventures in love has now grown to 19, 7 under 9 years of age.  That’s a lot of knees, elbows and empty stomachs.  It takes a day or two for all these bodies to settle into where our hearts are always, into family, one big family, all for one and one for all and all such stuff.  It’s a madhouse; dogs, children, and adults in a loud tumbling together again.   But there is that Fragrance, that Great Mystery, wafting through the home, binding all back into what we really are, a family.  It’s that Sweet Aroma, that Ancient of Days, that Great Conceiver that we have all accepted that “binds. Our hearts in Christian love.” that make us what we are, what we will always be, The Benson—Family.

Breakfast has started.
