Easter!

I have to share my story of Anna and church.

A couple weeks ago as we (Ian, Anna and myself) sat thru Sunday Mass I found myself lost in my own thoughts and revelations and I let my eyes fall on the sculpture of Jesus on the cross above the congregation. Anna must’ve seen me looking up and decided to share her infinite wisdom with me. As the church silenced and the priest prayed my sweet baby girl decides it’s the perfect moment to get my attention. In her attempt of a whisper (which is not really a whisper at all) I hear “Mom, mom, mom!?!” As quiet as possible I ask, “What?”. She then tells me (and all those sitting around us) that “Jesus DIED on the cross!”. As I smile and nod in agreement and whisper back yes … yes he did … My too smart for herself 3 year old finishes with, “But it’s ok, he comes back on Easter!”.

Thank goodness for the perception of a 3 year old and her aptitude to share all she has learned with me!
