No Guy Time Today!

So I'm a little disappointed today. My wife and some of her lady friends went out to go shopping at a huge stretch of rummage sales today (scary I know!). Well I was going to take the kids to a friend's house to play while we did guy stuff. Mostly cooking on the grill and watching sports and maybe spitting and scratching ourselves. OK probably not the last two but you get the picture. I do get the #1 parent award today. Collin wouldn't eat breakfast saying he wasn't hungry. Being the responsible parent I made him eat some toast and apple slices with the whole "breakfast is the most important meal of the day speech". About half way through his toast, back up it came all over the kitchen floor! It took a good 15 minutes to clean him and the kitchen up while keeping my 2 year old out of the mess. Needless to say there will be no guy time! It's times like these that I remind myself what a gift from God they are. I wouldn't trade them for the world!

A closing thought. Collin just blurted out a scripture reference this morning 1 John 5:11. He didn't know what verse went along with it but just in case you're wondering "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." What a great assurance we have in Jesus but we aren't just waiting for Heaven to get here. Matthew 28:19 tells us to go and make disciples of all nations. God is teaching me to get past my intraverted nature so I can share Jesus with others.
