Nine boys running haywire, hyped up on sugar, all of them with something to prove now that they are NINE… 🙂 They finished up their stay with a healthy game of ‘cops & robbers’ early this morning from 8am till the last one skipped out of here at 9:45am. Running, screaming, yelling, guns shooting, play fighting, play dying, up down, inside, outside…
Neal left to play golf at 7am. (Lucky fellow!)
At any rate it was a GREAT PARTY and Seth was the man of the hour as he should be.
Problem is the day that I needed to focus on the man of all of our life – Christ – I was distracted by running around pleasing my kids. Seth just had to get his hamster today and Ryan just had to get the game he saved up his allowance for the past two months today. By the time it was all said and done it was 2:45pm and my parents were calling letting me know they were ten minutes away from Kingwood.
There is no good excuse but I missed Mass today and it makes me sad. I should have made a better effort. And its worse when at least 5 people have either emailed, text, or ran into me at dinner to ask why I wasn’t at Mass. It wasn’t an interrogation, I know it was an honest inquiry but it feels like God asking ‘Were you there when they crucified my Son?”
And I wasn’t today. I didn’t show up.
I don’t even get to go to Adoration at 4am because He’s not there.
My heart is heavy…I am so ready for His resurrection.
Waiting for His grace
