After such an eventful, crazy, argumentative, tiresome week, I was really looking forward to today, Sunday. I am a children's Sunday School teacher and got my new group of students for the year today; that's always exciting! I also was looking forward to listening to my 2 oldest children sing in worship service. They have been gifted with beautiful singing voices (NO idea where that came from...not me or H!). Also, my oldest son was to read scripture to the congregation. I had informed my husband on Friday that the kids would be participating in worship service; I figured he wouldn't come, as he hasn't been to church since my oldest daughter's baptism last year. Imagine my surprise when he walked in the sanctuary doors. I motioned him over to sit with the kids and me, so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. It was a great service (my kids being the best part, of course ;)) Afterwards, the kids asked if he could join us at lunch, which he did, and we had a very nice time together as a family. It is my hope and prayer that he can continue to put his ill feelings toward me aside so that we can support our children together when they have performances, games, events, etc. As I've told him, when he ignores and avoids me in public in an attempt to anger or hurt me, he is really only hurting the kids. Maybe, hopefully...that finally sunk in!!!
