Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton

For Christmas, we gave our middle grandson a world globe. It provides a wonderful adventure for exploring our planet, its rotation, national boundaries, time zones, longitude, latitude, land, and seas. Indeed, it is a colorful spherical graphic of our home in the grandest sense, a three-dimensional resource for learning – at his fingertips. There is no touch screen, no batteries. It does not light up. It simply teaches at a glance: geography, human society, climate, and more. It is also a depiction of God’s creation.

Recently, I was gazing out the window and noticed a walker pushing a child in a stroller. I imagined the person navigating was a grandparent. It was a cold day, and my first thought was: that youngster should have a hat! Now, in fairness, maybe the child did have a hat but preferred not to wear it. All parents and grandparents have had the: “I won’t wear this!” battle of wills. How much to insist is part of the wisdom of the moment.
