Favorite time of the week

There are seven days in a week, but only one holds my favorite family time and yet, we’re not always together on this day. My husband usually works on this day. To top it off, it’s also a day that I don’t get as much rest as I do on most other days because part of my family spends it with many other children and we’re responsible for them while they’re with us! Sometimes it turns out to be a day in the week where we wake up and rush out of the house because we’re running late, but it’s not a typical workday, it’s not a typical school day, and it’s not a typical weekend. It’s our Sunday and I love it.

On Sunday’s, the most precious time we have together is the time we spend having breakfast around the table or at a local restaurant then celebrating mass together as a family and then coming together once again to enjoy lunch with each other. It’s the time around the table that we gather and talk about family plans, about some fun things that the children say, about life together, and about anything and everything we can imagine. Sometimes we tell stories, sometimes we make up stories, we might try out new jokes, we might make each other giggle, and we always give thanks together. It’s the time we sit in the pew at St. Peter Prince of the Apostle Catholic Church, here in Corpus Christi, pray together, hold hands, read along with the liturgy together, hug, partake in the Eucharist, and listen to the word of God.

For some reason, this time of the week, no matter how few the hours we actually spend with each other really are, it is always a special time for us and I think if you were to ask each of us about it individually, we’d all agree, it certainly is!

We can always count on Sundays being a beautiful and meaningful day!

Christi Family is a blog and local family resource for Corpus Christi and surrounding areas of the coastal bend.Created by a family of five, we blog about everything that matters to us. We invite you to read about our journey as we catalogue our thoughts about Family Matters, Fun Matters, Home Matters, Faith Matters, School Matters, and other things that Just Matter (at least to us). We’re exploring Corpus Christi and are providing you with what we find. Whether you’re looking for local resources, wanting to find local events geared just for families, or are wanting a quick reference guide on everything local, this might just be the place for you and yours. We’re filling our pages with resources for mom’s, kids, visitors, newbies, and families in general. As we continue our adventures in life, we’ll also continue our exploration of what we can do with this site and hopefully you'll benefit! Our focus is family, it’s that simple. You won’t find business meetings listed on our calendars, instead you’ll see calendars for families, toddlers, or just parents. It’s your choice! Join the fun! Let us know what you’d like to see or what you think we should explore! We’ll share our thoughts!
