This Sunday I was late getting up after the busy day before, and my wife slept in.  She opted to stay home from mass.  I started to take all the kids but she talked me out of taking the girls as she didn't want to get them dressed. I was disappointed in myself for not making a greater effort to take them.  I was grateful that we got to sit in the main sanctuary and not in the small children area in the balcony.  The boys behaved fairly well and I got to listen and meditate on the readings and homily about the Holy Trinity and how the spiritual life is a relationship.

My wife never really got going so I had to stay home all day with the kids.  I managed to keep my good attitude for the most part, but I'm sure that I was a little resentful as I remember thinking that I don't want her working that late anymore.

I got to talk to a sponsee and a friend in the program.

I fell asleep with my son and never did a review until tonight, but I recall that it was a good day.  I am grateful to serve God by tending to my kids and getting to spend time with them.

Thanks be to God.
