Playing Outside with the Boys

Today work slowed in the afternoon (not always a given) and I was able to spend time outside enjoying nature, playing make-believe warrior dragons something (they lost me half-way through explaining it), and playing pool with the boys.  I need to do this more.

I'm thankful for one of the prayers I've been praying lately

O God, in the course of this busy life, give us times of refreshment and peace; and grant that we may so use our leisure to rebuild our bodies and renew our minds, that our spirits may be opened to the goodness of your creation.

and that today I wisely used my leisure.
