Mr. Mom

I have been staying home taking care of my daughter lately. It's kind of interesting to be home and not working. I am surprised to see how much there is to do at home...it used to just get done. My wife has gone back to work as an RN and that helps with support. I am hoping to change careers soon. I have been in the car business as a Finance Director for 25 years and have had just about enough of the 75hr work weeks. I would like to feel like I accomplished something at the end of the day.

My daughter has pneumonia and that means she is going to miss school for 3 weeks with the holiday break. We get to be buddies for a little while. I have not gotten to spend much time with her around Christmas because of work and it's going to be nice to be with her...I hope she thinks so too! She is 9 yrs old and still thinks her daddy is pretty cool.

I am looking forward to going back to work, but not until after the first of the year. The time spent with my daughter will be time I may never have again!

I think my wife is looking forward to my return to work too! I don't keep thing as organized as she does. and she hasn't had to work full time in about 7 years so she is looking forward to my return to the workplace.

I think that God gave me this time and made things work out so I could be Mr. Mom for a while to show me what life is supposed to be. I have read the Bible and other books during this time and my study has been very comforting to me.

Prayer for today.

Thank you Father for this time with my family that you have graciously given me. Lift up all who are unemployed this Christmas season and let them find the comfort and peace you have given me. Help them find the positive side of things that don't seem to have any positive sides. Thank you for my family and thank you for giving your only son to us.
In Christ's name
Amen

The Lord is Coming!
