The life and trials of a growing Christian - Day One Hundred Fourteen

Yesterday my wife, son, dog and I all piled up on the couch and watched a movie (Dolphin Tail) together. It was without a doubt one of the best times I've ever had. Most people reading this might think "Huh, he's always with his family what's the big deal?", and they'd be right, I am always with my family but yesterday was special. I can't put my finger on it, but it was just great. My wife was on the right end of the couch with my son between us but sitting back in my arm, and the dog was stretched out on my left side, we had a good family movie on and my heart was just contented. Maybe it was because my hyper three year old sat good and still for most of the movie (a first). Maybe it was because I didn't have to worry about turning it off because of bad language or theme. Maybe it was because for the first time in a while I didn't concern myself with anything but the moment we were in. I just relaxed and enjoyed the blessing. I'm welling with tears thinking of how loved I am, and just how great of a memory we made out of something so ordinary. I never thought I'd ever be so dog gone sappy but God has given me more than I ever thought I deserved and I truly treasure my family.
