It is great to be back and to process my thoughts through this page. From daily life, devotion, to theological reflections. Taking care of a family is a job in itself, let alone trying to figure out its logistics. Waking up the family, breakfast, making sure that everyone has what they need for the day, and out the door on that particular time or else someone will be late.
6am is too early to wake up! We have to make sacrifices in order to achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Luckily my kids do not want to be late! It makes the morning trip easier.
We say our prayers in the vehicle on our way to school and work. We allocate a person to remind us of our prayer time and what to be thankful for by using the alphabet. Today we use the letter F, and we are thankful for; food, friends, family, fish, Fine (daughter), folofola (Tongan word for Bible), fasting, and so many. Each child say his or her prayers in their own words. Amazing how I hear the genuine expressions of love and praise through the children's prayers. So straight forward that makes the relationship with God so real.
Everytime I announce the offertory on Sunday during worship. I always say, "This is the time that we offer our gifts, as part of our commitment, to make God's love real in this world" Making things real, is something that I always yearn and work towards.
How real are we today?
