We don't find it very easy to get far from the ranch, but that doesn't mean that we never enjoy a vacation. We recognize that we have to, as Jesus did, "Draw apart for awhile."
The Reinhold family has been enjoying this land for over 100 years. Truthfully, we count it a blessing from God to live where and how we do. But that doesn't mean that we never find ourselves too wrapped up in the "busyness" of the moment.
It has been very positive to instill into each member of the family to realize what God has entrusted to us. To use and to enjoy. It only made sense after schooling was accomplished for the kids and Rachel and I working in the office on tax preparation, to get outside.
It was all downhill...
But that didn't hurt our feelings.
I am convinced that we as individuals and families come to the end of the day and we really do not enjoy each other as God had intended. I see too many families so busy doing stuff, filling obligations that others have set and just being so preoccupied with the "world around them" that they forget those that God has surrounded them with. Don't wait for the two week vacation to pour into those that matter. Take time for some "mini vacations"... even daily.
