I have to quickly jot down my thoughts about this morning before the day races by.
This morning, my #1 participated in a youth-led service at the church. I was so incredibly proud of him!
There were six kids between the ages of 11 and 14 who, under the patient guidance of our minister, led the entire service: the music, the prayers, the sermon, and they even managed to include some drama.
#1 presented part of the sermon, acted as Goliath in the drama, and played his saxophone and his guitar. I quietly sat back and tried not to get too emotional in light of his accomplishments.
The piece de resistance was once we got home, though, and Main Man - my confirmed Buddhist husband who had attended the service in support of #1 - hugged me and thanked me for raising our kids as church-goers. Even he was overwhelmed with the fantastic vibe emanating from these great kids.
It does feel good to know that I have had a part, however small, in providing the opportunity for #1 to meet such wonderful friends.
