There is nothing better than hearing kids sing songs, especially during mass. As they sing Alle -- Alle -- Alleluia sometimes in unison, my heart leaps. I know that God is looking down, His heart full of love and joy for all these precious innocent souls. As I see my son trying to stand on the pew to get a peek of me and G, while his teacher is whispering to get down. I feel so thankful for Catholic Schools, and the experiences they give kids. Not only to learn about God, but to learn how to Worship.
So JG wasn't as excited about school this morning as he said "I think I just will stay home with mama today." He has begun putting "just" behind anything after I. A cute habit, which now my husband and I have unconsciously adopted when talking to him. Because I work literally 23 steps for the front doors of the church, and there is daily mass at 12:15, I really have no excuse not to make it to daily mass most days. Since I have had 2 kids, I have been neglecting this more than I should. Just feeding 2 kids and trying to get them across the parking lot without JG being hit by a car, and then going into the silence of daily mass, with no other kids or music to drown out the little loud whispers of my 3 year old, seemed a little overwhelming. Even though i know people who have 10 kids and manage to get them to daily mass. Anyway, my little boy is better in mass than in the cry room where he would run around aimlessly. Being in mass, he sings, and knows some of the responses.
My quote for the day (I stole from the Bible)
"The Lord is Kind and Merciful, Slow to Anger, and Rich in Kindness." Lord, help me to live this and be forgiving, loving and kind to all those I meet. Especially those who need Your Mercy Most.
