It was a normal, busy day of home maintenance and shuttling the kids to school and back. I did breakfast and house work in the morning before school and then mowed the lawn at mid-day. At times I was impatient with my daughter who is home recovering from surgery.

I was spiritually resilient and inspired in the morning but became weary in the afternoon.

At noon I took my daughter to a special lunch treat at sonic. I had a burger and she had a shake. I was remorseful about spending money but I had to let it go and allow God to take me and my daughter out for quality time together and amends.

There was a point this afternoon when I became weary and impatient with all the kids. I had to take them all with me to my son's speech therapy and sit for an hour in the waiting room. They were especially unruly. God helped me to recover and endure and to appreciate that my son gets good therapy.

Tonight I got to work with a sponsee.

Thanks be to God.
