Friday's Thoughts: What's Important?

My mind often wanders throughout the week. Stresses of my job, devotion to Christ, concern for my family, times of relaxation, moments of joy. What I'm trying to say is that I don't know what to write about today. I've got too much stuff on my mind.

And yet...

We still make time for what is important. No matter how badly today goes, no matter how mad the Cardinal bus lady gets when I try to cancel our contract, no matter what my 7th and 8th graders say about their assignments, some things will routinely happen within my day. I will put my son to bed tonight with a Bible story, prayer, and kiss. I will read a poem, a chapter of the Bible and get in bed when my wife does. I will try to get anybody and everybody to play tennis after school (although the rain might prevent that from happening today). Don't these things that are routine, despite the craziness, don't they define who we really are and what is really important?
