And then quest, we say, okay, I don't know what's coming around tomorrow. And I don't know if I'm going to live in this town or a town two over, or we might go to another state. I don't know what's in the next five years or the next five months. But what I can do is be firmly rooted in a stance of quest, which is to say, I am open to what life is showing me now.

I'm on a journey and I'm bringing along my kids and I'm teaching this to my kids because the illusion of control is actually a very fragile illusion that is getting smashed right now. And it's not very helpful to tell your kids implicitly or explicitly you can control and plan everything.

But it's profoundly helpful to the resilience and health and peace of mind and heart of your children to say, you know, what our life is a journey. It's really a spiritual adventure.

And even more in our family, we might pray and we might say, loving God, creator of heaven and earth and everything we see and know. What, as we open our hearts, do you reveal to us now? What do you ask of us now? And sometimes it's the parent who receives an answer. And sometimes it's a child who says for the family, dad, mom, God told me that as long as we're together, we're okay.

You don't know what's going to come, but it's bigger and better than what we've planned. Family prayer with a common question. Here we are, we're in a hotel. We were just evicted from our home.
