More Snack Stand Villagers

On day #102, the eve of Little League Opening Day, and during this initial week of games, I have had to lean on my neighbors and friends to help with the running of the Little League Snack Stand. From Sharon and Kristen who stepped up to make sure we were open this week, even with a limited menu, to April who is always there to help (and has Joe help too), to Sarah who is my partner in everything, to all of the people who will help tomorrow.  My gratitude on 4/12/19 flows freely (again) for my snack stand villagers.

My daily caring prayer is for my fellow congregant at Old First who is going through a lot right now.  She has had to leave a committee we were on together because of all of the other things with which she has to deal.  My prayer for her is for strength, solace, and to know that she is loved.

My prayer for the person with whom a disagree is for a colleague at work that, I think unintentionally, says things that are actually belittling to people.  I pray that he has the awareness and realization of the power of his words and that he refrains from this in the future.

A Night with No Plans

The evening of the 59th day was a unicorn.  After work on 2/28/19, we actually had nothing planned.  Anna and Sarah went to the gym, Alexa went out with friends, and I chilled at home.  Tonight, I am thankful for this brief respite (I know it will ramp right back up real soon).  Goodnight!

Being a Father

6/16/2019 is Father's Day.  And I spent the 166th day of 2019 doing things with my family.  Church, clothes shopping (I did need new (and smaller, thank goodness) clothes), naps, Disney Movies on TV, a GREAT dinner (mmmm lasagna by Sarah), and then more catching up on TV with the family.  I am so blessed that, on 4/2/2002, I was made a father.  Being a father has pretty much defined me since that day.  I am so grateful for being a father, as well as being thankful for those who have advised me and taught me and have helped me become a better father.  This, of course, includes my fathers and grandfathers, who have been shining examples to me, but also for all of those other people in my life who have been models and mentors, my mom, other relatives, my wife, friends, etc.  So, to all who have been in my life in regard to my parenting, HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!  (and thank you!)

More Numbers

Today, 11/24/19, is Day #328 of 2019.  As with most Sundays, after Church, I counted, with my counter colleagues, the offering that was collected.  So, on day 328, the Loose Offering was $27 and the total cash was $273.  I know it might sound geeky, but this is where my gratitude lies today.  I love that these are more numbers to make me happy.  And I am glad that a simple set of numbers can start my day off in a good manner.
