Today we had a nice family trip to my son's all star tournament game in another city.  I had to watch myself not to get too impatient with everyone to get going on time.

On the way there I rudely interrupted my wife as she started to tell me about her troubles putting air in a low tire this week.  I have grown impatient with her insistence that all the air machines around are defective when she just has trouble using them.  I tried just to drop it as the point was that she got it fixed but she insisted on prodding me into an argument with her.  I should have exercised more tact in confronting her denial.

At the ball game I was able to keep a good attitude over the situation of my son seeing limited playing time.  I realized just how much of my resentment last week was based on selfish pride.  My son had a great time and he got to play a little.

This evening my son and I did some yard work.  I was alone with the kids and practiced ball with my younger son.

I was grateful that I got to go to a meeting last night.

Thanks be to God for this day.
