Without a doubt I am thankful for my Sunday's of late...because my step-family--once so very difficult to handle--- comes to visit. A six year old, a thirteen year old and a thirty-four year old, all girls, all different but all vital to my happiness visit to do laundry, eat lunch and socialize at the end of each week.

None of us is church going but this ritual does feel like good spiritual food. This coming together makes us all better, even if we don't completely understand how it works right now.
