Today I am thankful for the fruits of the spiritual life that God blessed me with this weekend.

Yesterday I finally got to fix the window that I broke this time last year. This helped me to see that we have not had that type of anger in our home in all that time.

Today I woke up late and tired but we made it to mass.

This afternoon I got to go to the CA H&I meeting at the treatment center. I had trouble finding spiritual clarity this morning so I brought a topic on step 3 on why it's important to make that commitment so that when I am unclear about why I need to do some spiritual work that I just do it on my spiritual schedule motivated by my 3rd step commitment. Is it time to pray? Is it time for a meeting? Is it time for inventory? Have I missed spiritual tasks?

Today I had a bit of dilemma over my son's friend, the kid I suspect of stealing from him. I saw him pick up a toy and hide it beside him in his hand. He snuck around the corner of the house. I looked out another window and he was sneaking up on my son and pretending to stab him. This and several other things today made me angry at that kid. It made me want to run him off. I know I need to keep a charitable spirit toward him but I am concerned that he is older and his family is teaching a criminal culture to him and he is bringing it to my young son and his friends. Plus I have seen him walking out of our house before in that same sneaky way.

God save me from being angry and self righteous, Thy will not mine be done. God please show me what the right thoughts and actions should be.

This evening i got to spend time with my Dad watching the super bowl. We got to talk about our family members that are suffering from their self-will. I hope that I was able to be helpful.

Thanks be to God for the fruits of the spiritual life.
