My Church's Saturday Mission

I started the day off with some of the students from Collingswood H.S. National Honor Society.  It was a great way to start Day 96 of the year. We assisted in the serving of breakfast to almost 70 people as well as the distribution of clothing.  I am extremely grateful, on 4/6/10, to be part of a congregation that has so many options for serving others.  Started the day off right and put a lot of things into perspective.

My caring prayer today is for the youth of Oaklyn, classmates of Alexa since 4 years old!  It was a pleasure working with them this morning. I hope they want to come back again.

And I also have a prayer for the gentleman who cursed at us this morning.  I know he was frustrated that the clothes distribution was taking a long time but, to take is out on us was unneccessay.  I pray for his to find what he is looking for in life and I say a prayer for  empathy in the ye2rs to come (and beyon)!

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.
