First Steps

I came in from the shop today extremely sweaty and tired.  I had one of those work days that all I wanted to do was go to sleep in bed and not get out until tomorrow.  However, when I crossed the threshold, I found my wife and son sitting on the floor of the house.  Jesus was walking from his resting place over to Mary.  I was shocked.  I was witnessing my son's first steps.  Overwhelmed, I positioned myself on the floor and he practiced, wobbling between his mother and I for hours.  When I got up from the floor Jesus was asleep again and it was an hour and a half later.  I am exhausted but the time I spent with my family was worth it.
