I don't even really remember how it all started, but I'll never forget how one of the greatest Thanksgivings I've ever had ended....with everyone hugging and telling each other how much they loved them anyway. No matter how different we all are. You probably wonder why the "anyway". Well, you'll have to be a Galyon to ever really know how the script read, but I can tell you this much. We are a passionate group of people who are all doing the best we can to know God, regardless of our different realities. And when you get that many convicted people in the same room at the same time, sometimes it leads to discussions. Very loud discussions. Where someone may or may not start crying. And someone may or may not point their finger. And someone may or may not get frustrated and feel misunderstood.
But the beauty of family is that everything is trivial in comparison to the fact that we are family. And family is family is family. Our love is deeper than our opinions. And our unconditional support system is stronger than our opposing views. And at the end of the day I am thankful for a family where we all feel safe to disagree and secure enough to say how we feel, because we know that there's nothing we could say that could sever the unity we have.
