At about 11:30 a.m. I felt my hunger but also starting feeling shaky, wobbly more like, and that is when I decided to eat.
The wise words of a friend helped me with that decision actually. He suggested I take into account that if my work was suffering, and that work is something to supplement my family's wellbeing, then God would likely understand.
Neither of us are suggesting we have a direct line of communication with God but he definitely made me think. What an interesting way to look at my job. And he's right, this is something that I do to provide for my family.
That is part of my job as a parent. What a thought.
"These are, O my Lord, the days in which Thou hast bidden Thy servants to observe the Fast. Blessed is he that observeth the Fast wholly for Thy sake and with absolute detachment from all things except Thee."
Baha'u'llah
Found this little scene today. Nice.
