We don't get much time alone together; there are usually kids everywhere or church people in abundance. It was nice to just relax, talk, and run errands together. She is such a great lady, filled with grace and compassion, and hot, hot, hot.
When Elliot got home (he attends morning kindergarten), we took him to lunch.
Then, Elliot and I put Mommy down for a much needed (and rarely obtained) nap. We had a good time throwing a football and then a baseball in the backyard. Finally, before the other kids got home, we watched The Nativity Story together (Elliot had lots of questions).A nice day; we rarely have quiet days such as this.
In a few hours, I'll be off to the airport to pick up the Rev. Dennis Lawton, a former member of our Conference who is coming in this week for a take-in at a UM church here in western PA; he and his family will be returning to us this summer after spending a few years in the Irish Methodist Church.
Thank God for days like this, which are so important for "recharging"!
Thanks for taking time for your wife and Elliot today and sharing it with us. We need more examples like this in todays world.
