THE CARROLL FAMILY REUNION



You're looking at 47 Carrolls. We spent the weekend at Orange Beach fellowshipping with our extended family. It all began with the four sisters on the front row. Our family is spread out over North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Here is what a cousin wrote on his blog -
5 Lessons/Reminders from Family Reunions:
1. We are different....different interests and different passions, but we have a common thread....WE ARE FAMILY.
2. Life is short and family is vitally important. Carve out more time in the year to all get together.
3. There is a window of time with kids....make the most of it...because they grow up.
4. God has placed us in the families that we are in for a reason....enjoy it....don't take it for granted.
5. Leaving a spiritual legacy and heritage is crucial. As I looked around at the 45 or so of us....I couldn't help but think of the spiritual seeds that were sown years ago into this family.
