My brother Marcos, who
lives about an hour from our town, invited me and Mark, to go and see early
movie this afternoon. He came with his son Matthew. Since
there is only place to see a movie in our whole state, he drove my way to get
some father son time. We had a blast.
After the movie, we
had some tea at our apartment and then had a bite of Nancys cookies. Mark, Matthew and a friend played their video games. Mondays
are days I try to take off whenever possible. Since weekends can be pretty
packed with trips and ministry activities, Mondays are a chance to sleep in a
bit and catch up with running errands, hanging out with the kids and some home
activities.
Mark loved it, so did
Matthew my nephew. In my 30s I would not have considered taking a Monday afternoon
off, just to be, and hang out with a family member. I was very, very focused in
getting the next thing crossed off my list. But today, I am in the process of
changing those patterns. I think the first mission field is my family’s heart
and loyalty. I think I scored a few points today with Mark. Temperatures where
down in the 40s with constant rain.
Thanks for hanging
out. More tomorrow. I have a lot of
office work to catch up tomorrow. So I need to get an early start.
