Today is the first day of the week long March Break for schools in Ontario. Many families are packing the car and heading out of town for a holiday. I suppose I shouldn't be kidding myself. If you are among that group you are probably not reading my blog today. But just in case you are... When I was young holidays with my family were some of the best moments of my life. They seemed to be a time when routines and duties were dropped and Mom and Dad had a little time to be with you - time that wasn't business that is. When I became a father holidays were still a special time. They were a time to forget the business of life and spend some memory-making moments with the children. Sadly I know that many do not look forward to holidays. They are a time when strained relationships become even more strained because everyone is together for too long. They are a time when children have to shuffle between one parent and another. They are a time when there is nothing to do because parents are at work. If you are among the blessed who know this coming holiday will be a great time for your family rejoice and give thanks. Perhaps you will take a moment to pray for those who are less fortunate.
