This morning I decided to go to a meeting to encourage my wife to go to hers. The meeting turned out to be a traditions meeting on tradition 10. I revisited the parallel of the relationship of this tradition to the fellowship and the principle of self examination to myself.

This afternoon I was planing to pick up the oldest kid at school and I began to dread walking. I realized this was because of the behavior of one of the kids that walks with and the dynamic with my son. I talked to my wife about it and she encouraged me to go. When we walked everyone behaved and we all enjoyed each others company. I got to guide the boys to be kinder to the one little girl. I was grateful for the shared experience of walking home in the nice weather.

I thought alot today of the talk that my wife and I did last night. I thought about how this sense of shared mission really brings us together.

Thanks be to God.
