February 2012 - -
Tonight as we played on the golf course (a large fallen tree branch had our rapt attention as we pretended it was a dinosaur skeleton) the sun began to set. Noticing the bright pink in the sky I pointed it out to the kids saying "hi God!" Jacob's sweet response was to walk a slight distance away from us, kneel down, close his eyes and fold his hands and pray. He thanked God for the "evening sky..." And he prayed much more elequoently than I am remembering it even just now. Then Catherine proceeded to kneel down as well and re-tell the story of "baby Jesus in the stable" in her sweet little childlike voice also with closed eyes and bowed head. I was spellbound...
