I hope that you've all had a safe and happy holiday weekend.
As for us, it was pretty negative. Our family reached critical mass and everyone pretty well had it out. Lots of anger, tears and hurt- not good. My wife had a migraine and it seemed that the enemy was running rampant in our house and with our personal relationships.
Things perked up a bit during a family BBQ this afternoon. We were able to step outside of our daily lives for a few hours, hit the pause on the issues we're facing and enjoy good food and great company. It was refreshing. Finally, a good belly laugh was had by almost everyone just before bedtime, as we thumbed through some old pictures of the kids on my computer. Hearing laughter and seeing smiles was such a great experience this evening. The kids are back in school tomorrow, and I wanted their last remnant of Summer to be positive.
Thank you Lord, for these reminders about what life's all about. It's not about money, bills or stress. It's not about tyranny because the house is messy or gripping control based on fear and uncertainty of what "might happen". It is all about love, and I often forget this fact. Please help me to "walk the walk" of faith. Please help me let go and trust you for once in my life. Please affect an everlasting heart change in me and my family. Amen.
Good Night
