Family re-unions can be fraught or fun. Most fall in between the two extremes with perhaps a few tense moments and lots of laughter. It’s good for families to get together. We live in a fast moving world where people move from place to place. So it can be difficult to keep track and keep in touch. Of course we do make a point of travelling for important occasions such as weddings or funerals. Whatever the reason we gather someone should really say a few words of welcome and talk about what family means. After all when all is said and done those present come from the same gene pool and it is interesting to see what they have done in their lives as opposed to your own lifestyle decisions. It’s especially good for youngsters to meet their cousins and to get to know them. So whatever the reason you are gathered take time to say a few words that will make the rest of the family stop and think about family life and what you all mean to each other.

“Let’s get together again” goes the refrain of an old song. It might be a suitable motto for a family reunion. We live in an age where family members often live at a long distance from each other. Busy lifestyles mean they don’t see one another very often. That’s a shame because when all is said and done family is important. They are usually there for us when others desert us. The tie of blood is a strong one. Whether you are meeting again for Thanksgiving or for your grandmother’s birthday doesn’t matter as long as you do get together. Such a reunion is a time for catching up on family affairs. It’s a time to say “Well done on passing examinations” or “Have you any photos of the new baby? It’s a time to say, “Tell me about the new job” or “I hear Mary has got engaged”. Families do meet for funerals of course but isn’t it much better to meet on a happier occasion? So lift the phone and make that arrangement. You will be strengthening those ties and probably having a good time too.
