Teamwork And A Happy Home 6/21/2019

Good Morning,

The time is just right for prayer and a hot cup of Door County Bourbon Barrel Pecan Pie Coffee. I raise the question. Isn't anytime a good time for prayer?

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

⁹ Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. ¹⁰ For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! ¹¹ Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? ¹² And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Last night when I arrived home from work I saw my lovely wife Rene putting the tractor away. The grass had been cut and she was just getting ready to sweep up some grass clippings. I was welcomed home also by our dog Gibbs who wanted to play. It felt good to be home.

Later after a breakfast/dinner Rene went back outside and helped me assemble a small grill we wish to use for tailgating at a baseball game. I made dinner for the two of us and both of us cleaned up the kitchen before we went outside again.  It is a small propane grill and we tried it out after the assembly. It worked great and now we can look forward to the Major League picnic.

What is my point in describing last evening to all of you? There wasn't much very special about last night. Except that we accomplished a lot in a short time because we worked together. We enjoyed the time spent outside together. We listened to a ball game on the radio while working in the garage.

It was great to be together on a simple night. Teamwork was the key to enjoying our evening and preparing for a picnic that will be coming soon. My point is this. We both did what needed to be done. Rene took advantage of good weather and took care of a lot of yard work. I got busy in the kitchen and we ate a good but simple dinner. We cleaned up and assembled that grill and a few other items in the garage were prepared for the dump run Saturday. If more families could work as a team and do it sacrificially not seeing themselves as more important than others in the family, life would be much nicer. We need to get over ourselves and be a team member not little dictators.

Teamwork makes our portion of the world a nice place. How about your portion? Are you the problem? Or part of the solution to family harmony.

Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!
