This morning my wife went to garage sales for resale stuff while I got to take care of and feed the kids.

At mid-morning she came home and I got to go to the meeting house and clean up our recreation area. I tried to take my oldest son but he didn't want to go and I didn't make him go. Then on the way there I realized that it was my job to make him get out of the house so I turned around and went back and got him. The work was hard but I found a lot of comfort in it and my fears were relieved. I had fun and I got to play some washers and hang out with friends.

This afternoon my wife went to a cooking class for our autistic son all afternoon and I got to take care of the kids. We spent some time outside in the evening.

I thougt a lot about the story we read last night, "Because I'm an Alcoholic".

I am grateful that I got to do service work today for my group and for my family.

Thanks be to God for another great day.
