Another rainy night.
A Friday,
weeks end and everyone at home.
We gathered to watch Astroboy
in our pyjamas
and have a family picnic.
For once they all enjoyed the same movie,
and cuddled close,
enjoying the warmth of snuggles
and blankets
on a grey and dreary night.
A weight fell away
as we watched
good triumph over evil,
even if it was only in cartoon form.
Kisses and hugs
and a call with my folks,
I went to bed at peace,
centred in the warmth of family.

Good morning Heather. What a beautiful description of family time. We just returned from the mountains, with our oldest declaring he does not wish to return … ever. I am wrestling and praying. Tough to balance everyone’s passions and be together in love.
Ahhh I remember being that child! And now as an adult I appreciate it so much. It can be so challenging! Sending you patience and wisdom to get through!
