Today was just golden.

I woke up still feeling woozy from being sick.  I caught myself spiraling into anxiety and worry. I made myself stop over valuing the things that I was afraid of not doing right. I turned to prayer and resolved to think of God with me at times throughout my day.

We had baseball games early.  I pitched for my middle son's team and he went 3-3.  My daughter had a tee ball game and got a compliment from her coach afterwards about her running.  She got to play pitcher and made an out. I got to watch her slide into home.  My oldest got invited to play as a substitute on another team and he made all 3 outs in the first inning.  He hit well in both his games including a towering fly to the outfield for a triple.  We all had fun outdoors together and by noon I felt completely healed from my illness.

My wife and I never lost our tempers with each other today. Even when we got sidetracked from and our middle son got separated from his equipment bag.  Even when I let my son and his cousin ride bikes to the school alone and the cousin barked his elbow.

One of the best things about faith is that there are moments all of your dreams come true.  One of the common problems I have is that these moments are so captivating that I forget to think about God while they are happening.  God, I am thinking about you now.  I love you and I thank you for all that you are.
