There was a day last auminer that I keep tucked away in the
back of my mine), like a miniature mental movie all my own.
Sometimes, when other days aren’t quite aa bright at thia one
was, I taka it out and reel off a private ahowinc.
It waa a Sunday. We'd beeen to church, Lee and the three
children and I. Theu we went home and packed up a bit picnic
lunch and took it down to the creek. It waa one ol those perfect
summer days poets have written ‘about, Everything tasted
better than it could possibly have been. When we'd finished
eating, the kids sailed their boats while Lee and I stretched
out on the grass and looked up in the blue ailk sky, all dotted
with fleecy white clouds.
We didn’t say anything, but I know that we were both thank
ing God for all the bleisings he'd bestowed on us. I know that
we were feeling, just then, particularly at peace with ourselves,
and with the universe. I was thinking, too, of our kids as they'd ‘
come out of Sunday School that morning, with their bright
faces glowing, and I gave a silent vote df gratitude to^ my
parbnta for having raised me in the Church: Now I was able,
in turn, to pass on thia priceless heritage to my own children.
In this high pressure, jet-propelled age we're living in, we
need .to much to guide our children in the right way. Without
the aid of the Church I. for one.^would be at a total lo s—
and that afternoon I realised it. writh partitu'sr emphasis.
I suppose, when you come right down to it, we really didn't
do to much, that Sunday. But it was a day that left me with
a feeling of family unity, of togetherness .... I shall never
forget.
Sometimes, when things are “at sixes and -.rvrns.*’ a parent
needs to take time out to remember just how precious a family
Is. Whenever I find myself in danger of forgetting—I just
dust off my movie and live that Sunday all over again, to '
myself. Cop)right |M7, Kritter
