I woke up this morning expecting to go on a short day trip to a historical fort nearby that we've been wanting to go to. This was shot down before I even woke up due to the temp. Then we wanted to go bowling in the morning, but no bowling alley in the area had open bowling this morning. Then we went to buy new sneakers, but the store had no sneakers in my boys sizes. Now I'm sitting here typing with the rest of the family upstairs in bed- disappointed that they didn't get to do what they wanted to do.
I wonder why we all get so upset when we don't get to do what we want to do- we should just be happy to be together. We should just be happy to live in a nice place in the greatest country in the world (at least in my opinion). But we're not. We all want more. We want everyday we have together to be the best day ever instead of being content with just having a day together.
Lord, help me to be more content with just being.
Please help my family to be happy with just being.
Please help us to find ways to have fun together.
Please help us to be the best us we can be.
Help us to do this all together.
Amen.

AAah yes, the ever elusive contentment. :) Today is a new (and hopefully less discontented)day for all of us. Maybe PR will do a sermon about being happy with what you have and one of teh boys will be listening???
