Last Saturday was your first communion…

True to Spiritus Christi form, it was a BEAUTIFUL time!
– you sang an amazing song – everyone really meant the words, the hand motions were touching
– you brought something that was very special to you to the alter – you chose “Purple B” – you explained – “she reminds me of God – because they have both always been with me.”
– Mama, Daddy Jim, Madeline, Dan, Daddy, Jen, Dan and Julie were ALL there to hug you and love on you!!
– Father Jim’s sermon was so precious – really connected with you as kids – He told a Hindu story about a god of the forest that took care of a little boy, and the teacher demanded to see this god of the forest but he wouldn’t appear. Later the god of the forest told the boy that your master can see me only when he has a child-like faith and spirit like you.
– Madeline gave you a special purple cross necklace that matches hers.
– We had ice cream cake and a very special dinner with you Madeline, Daniel, Julie, Daddy, Daddy Jim and me.
– That same day, you and I and Madeline and Julie sewed felt bird houses – we did a cool stitch called “needle felting.” I’ll put some pictures of that up here too.
