Day 138 - All the family

Today was a busy day between picking up family, two different ones at two different airports.  Then another Arties performance, followed by pizza and then making homemade dessert pies.  The pies were a flop but the fun was constructing them.  Then it was time for bed before a big day tomorrow.

Kids are so funny as they can get very excited and majorily dissapointed in a blink of an eye.  Heck, even my adult kids can do the same thing.  Today I dealt with both.  It was cute and I thought everyone would be happy with me having the kids so they could all enjoy Nicole in her play.  I kinda took the stance, I am going to do what for me is the right thing to do and then let others figure it out.  I can't make people reason a certain way to follow my logic and extension of hospitality.  As long as I am staisfied about the decisions I make, so be it.

Lord, thanks for showing us the proper way to act and your working to help us all.  Amen

It was rather slow going and I felt a huge burden lift.  For months I had tried too hard and it only made me more miserable.  So as I am walking along and following the switchbacks I am also replaying some of the more challenging times with other people.  I can only hope there will be more empathy extended and consideration of peoples feeling and actions before acting hastily.
