For a mere 3 weeks now my wife and I have been having "family night". It seems to have settled on Wednesday evening and we phone my daughter and her husband. We gather around the iphone and we each talk about our week as it is so far, and we talk about events that are important to each of us. We talk about our grandchildren and how they are liking (or not!) school and preschool.
My daughter and I agreed to keep more in touch than we had in the past, and this is what we settled on: talking on the phone. I know! Its rather old fashioned, but at least it is more efficient than texting.
How do we get in the presence of God? Through prayer. However, God doesn't want family night, He wants you 24/7/365. I want God with me during our family night so that He can guide my words, guide my heart so I speak true and with love.
I want that 24/7/365 as well. When I speak with my wife, I want my words guided by God. When I speak to my coworkers I want my words guided by God. Recall I once said "never give up, never say die"? No matter how many times I fail to listen to God, I will never give up seeking Him. Never give up trying.
Its 10 to 9. Gotta go. Its another family night and I have tickets for my daughter and her family to go to Night Eyes. A fun filled night at the Zoo for children and those adults who like to be children as well.

May the peace of our Lord be with you.
