This morning we slept in and then I made a big breakfast. Instead of watching TV I put on music and we really seemed to be much more attentive to each other. There was this moment that we all prayed together and talked about God has blessed us that made me realize what a great opportunity I have to give my children good formation and a better quality of life than my wife and I and our parents had.

It seemed like I had just finished cleaning up breakfast when lunch came around. I almost started to feel sorry for myself and then my work in the home gave me a sense of usefulness that I needed. I realized that I had been having some low grade fear about not being useful enough. I realized that this is a daily occurrence but it is so subtle that it is flying under my radar. I prayed for God to help me continue to catch this and to remove it. I resolve to do my part to address this also.

This evening I got to go to meeting. It was sparsely attended but those of us there had great fellowship.

The past two days the scripture readings seem to be talking about the importance of unity in the church. I find it interesting and synchronous that this has been on my mind these past two days.

Thanks be to God.
