Gift 8 - Relaxation

Today was a glorious day for the pool.  It was HOT, the pool was crowded, it was GREAT! 

We are members of a private pool here in town, and today we took some friends there with us to enjoy the beautiful summer day.  It was fun to see my friend again, and fun to watch our kids play in the water.  I wish my gift could have included lunch as well, but I unfortunately don't have enough money right now for that gift.  But I think my friend appreciated the time away from the regular routine of entertaining the kids during the summer, and I appreciated the company. 

I offer up another prayer of gratitude for good friends today.  I am also grateful for the pool, a place where both of my kids are entertained and happy for several hours at a time.  And, finally, I say a prayer for my friend who seems unhappy about her life right now.  I pray that she finds some peace and happiness in her life.
