"Wow"-ed

First: Friday our son said grace. This is not unusual. Either he says grace, his sister does or both of them do. He will be 5 in December. His grace was longer than normal and very thoughtful. When we said amen, I was smiling. So was his father. He stunned us. Both his father and I told him how nice his blessing was. He gave thanks for our food, and asked for another good day. He prayed for his daycare provider and her family. Then he prayed that his friends would be safe, have fun at home and that all the students at his elementary school would be good members of their caring community! Wow!

Second: While in mass on Sunday, our daughter said she felt like crying because she was so happy about God. I told her that was okay. That she was feeling his presence and I often felt like crying also. Knowing our Lord is there with us, brings an unspeakable joy to ones’ being.

So I don’t question myself about their faith. We are leading them in the right direction. Our daughter loves to read her Bible. She has become a little evangelist. She educates her best friend and shares stories from her Bible. She peppers us with questions. She loves our at-home religious education studies. She enjoys letting her brother sit in and listen. We now read from his Bible once we finish our lesson. We want him to learn with us. We are all learning as there is so much to learn.

This journey we are on together only gets sweeter as we travel. It is a blessing knowing that we are all traveling together toward our Lord!
