Today we only had one vehicle so I was busy driving all the kids to school and my wife too. I had several memorable moments today.

When I was back at home and I was alone up on the roof in the cold wind fixing the Christmas lights.
After I dropped off my wife at school on a hill overlooking the city that I live in and I stopped to take in the view in the gray day before the rain.
When I sat at night in my living room with candles lit on the mantle below the icons.
When I took a minute before dinner to write some thoughts about the spiritual awakening and step 12.

I was happy that my wife went to a meeting tonight.

I was really worried about my sister today as she had to go into emergency surgery for a brain tumor. I prayed for her all day. I am also worried about my parents because they are not practicing their faith and she needs their intercession more than anyone. I rounded up the kids tonight and we gave thanks that she is in recovery and feeling much better. We said 10 Hail Mary's for her continued recovery, courage, and protection.

Thanks be to God.
