Something to Smile About

I posted this to Dundeals blog in reply to his post Kids On Church and he suggested that I should have put it on a blog of my own, so, I am. These are about my son Matthew when he was little. The picture is of he and his sister when they were teenagers. Enjoy Both of my children were born in Japan. All during my pregnancy with my second child my ex and I had been telling our son Matt that we were going to have a new baby and that it would be his baby as well as mommy and daddy's. My husband had brought Matt to the hospital every day to see his new baby sister after she was born and we had made him a part of every aspect of her life at home. My ex and I attended a Southern Baptist Mission Church there. Just after she was born we took my daughter forward for dedication, as is the custom in that denomination, at the end of the one of the services. My husband had gone and gotten our son, Matt, from the nursery, just before the end of the service, so that he could be a part of the dedication service as well. During the dedication service, our Pastor, Brother Bob, turned to me and asked if He could hold the baby, Charity. Of course I handed her to him with no qualms whatsoever. Matt, whom my husband was holding, however, had a different opinion. Looking at his dad with a big question on his face, then at me, the pastor, HIS baby, and back at the pastor, he very adamantly declared: "YOU GIVE MY BABY BACK MY MOMMY!!!!" Our church family there were all wonderfully amused by my sons protectiveness of his baby sister. Several years later, when we returned to the states, we were visiting with my husbands parents at Easter and went with them to Mass on Sunday morning like we always did when we were at their home. For those of you who don't know about Catholic mass, especially the special Masses such as at Easter, during the mass, the priest goes through the congregation and sprinkles the people with Holy Water during the Mass. My mother and father-in-law were sitting in the pew in front of my husband and I with Matt between them. This was not Matt's first time at Mass but it was his first time at a special Mass and he was a between 3 and 4 years old. As the priest passed by us and sprinkled the Holy Water on us my precious son once again made his presence known to the entire congregation of a church by exclaiming: "HEY, THAT BIG MAN THREW WATER AT ME!!!!!!" Even the priest and the alter boys had a hard time keeping their composure. Add a Texas accent to my son's voice, since we had just came from a month of visiting my folks down here and consider the fact that we were in Massachusetts at the time and you will realize that the entire congregation became almost hysterical and were trying to hold it in because it was supposed to be such a solemn occasion. Thankfully, we were at the family church and everyone there was totally understanding. Copyright reserved Ephesians 6:13 . . .and having done all, to stand
