Not Enough

I would say spirituality, or my religion which is Catholicism, is important to me. It’s an aspect of life I wish for my kids to grow up knowing and honoring, as my parents before me instilled in me.

But truth be told, I am not trying hard enough to be close to God. I give myself excuses, that I have a young baby who is more interested in toddling around the church parking lot than sitting inside quietly to listen to the word of God.

I know how important it is to maintain a healthy relationship with God, epecially when it comes to facing one’s mortality. Wwithin this past year as I watched my Father grow weak from illness and pass on, I’ve seen that Death is unpredictable and our time can come at any time.

I wish to stop being lazy, to shrug that sin of sloth off my shoulder, and walk in the light of the Lord. I want to yearn for his word and bask in his presence, whether it be from the church parking lot or in his house.
