Hallelujah Amen

The drive here seems to fly since we discovered audio books.In many ways it is nice to be free to respond to the things that jump out at us -particularly with a growing family.I was excited to get to my baby sitting gig. To hear their voices filled with excitement as they say -Papa is here. The biggest adjustment is sharing my bed at night since rumors of my excessive snoring had insisted that my wife and I have separate sleeping arrangements. The Grand Kids don't even notice it -yet. Lying next to me on this night is my first Grandson.I remember wondering if I would love them as I did my children .I laugh as I recall that question -not even a sharp elbow and knee will disrupt this little peace of heaven tonight.Of course Papa fixed the" best eggs they had ever eaten"and even the orange juice was the "best ever".As we drove to school I remembered the prayer I had started many years ago-Dear Lord live within us these days. Bless all that we shall do and say. Shine within us like the sun. So that we may be good to everyone.    Hallelujah Amen. As I watched them carry their back packs into school I found myself already wishing for 2:30 .
