Los Cuatro

I learned tonight that my brothers and I have been given a trail name by other pilgrims on the Way: Los Cuatro (The Four). It sorta sounds like a superhero group. 😆

Today was a day I was thinking a lot about how I show up in my relationship to them. Today I let myself get in the way of that relationship a bit. I had chosen my own needs and schedule over being with them this morning when one of them didn’t show up for breakfast. I left to start walking while another brother waited and had breakfast to give him company. It meant that the next two hours we wouldn’t all walk together.

It was unnecessary and I lost my priorities. But once we all got back together again I shared my regret and apologized. They all are so gracious, give me the benefit of the doubt, and accept me even with all my faults. My gratitude today was how my siblings can all seem to flex to respond and do what is needed between us all so we can all continue to get along. I’m so appreciative that they let me be me and graciously accept me back when I’m not my best self.

I also saw God in how we all are able to laugh and enjoy each other’s company. There are a lot of joyful moments. No grudges were held against me due to my morning miscalculation. We just continued on, laughing and enjoying life.

Thank God for Los Cuatro.Leer más
