Two Sundays ago our Church had Communion. As Baptists, we do this maybe 1 time a month or so. C-man has now hit 10, and is to old for Children's Church and must sit in the main sermon area. I don't know if I agree with that since he has a difficult time understanding what is going on with the regular sermon, and I feel he would get more out of the children church activities than he does when he sits with us.
This, is the conversation we had yesterday, 2 weeks AFTER the fact...
C-Man: Hey mom, I liked when we were at church a couple of weeks ago and we had that snack.
Mom: What snack?
C-Man: You know, the little square and the juice, it wasn't apple juice tho...it was weird.
Mom: Oh....THAT
C-Man: Yeah, but we need to tell Pastor G that I was still hungry after that snack and we should get more.
Mom: Oh no C-Man (trying to stifle my giggle..he still cracks me up with the lack of understanding of many things since he was much older when he came home from Haiti) That was called Communion. We take it to remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the Cross when he died for our sins.
C-Man: (staring blankly at me)
Mom: The little bread is supposed to be like Christ body and the juice is to be like Christ blood
C-Man: (Now a horrified look on his face) You mean, it is like we are eating Jesus?
Mom: um....Pastor.....

Visits & Summer Fun
Crazy Kids with K ;-P
Mitch @ the Zoo-She LOVED petting the butterfly
Mitch with staright hair...peopel think she has Mickey Mouse ears when her hair is like this...haha
C-Man and Mitch @ the Parade
Roo left home for the first time this last week, she was enjoying her time at Church Camp-YEEHAW..She had a blast, came home exhausted, full of knowledge and sad to be done but glad to be home..ALL rolled into one.
We had a visit with a little friend this past week, a little guy that we hope may some day be part of our family. Right now we have done paperwork, and put our names in with the appropriate people, now we must wait for the powers that be to make their decision.
If things pan out the way we are hoping and Praying for them to, we will post here if has indeed come to be with us. Continue to Pray for the right decisions to be made, (although selfishly I want it to be us) and that all, especially God and the little boy are served.
We are enjoying the past little bits of summer. The kids with K, the 'Fun Sitter Extraordinaire' are enjoying the zoo, water park, pool, lemonade stands and slip-n-slides.
