In about an hour, 5 little children will present themselves...all excited and ready to learn. We will re-live ancient stories and family feasts. We will marvel at the color of stained-glass pictures, the unexpected burn and fruitiness of wine, the feel of a soft dough working through our fingers. They will leave this place still excited...carrying their Bibles and a little work sheet that will most likely soon will be lost.
But what will not be lost is the wonder in their eyes when tomorrow they come forward and put out their hands and take into it the bread and the wine...the Body and the Blood. I know from experience that they will look up at me and smile. And the "amen" that they speak is barely able to contain the joy that they feel.
Oh, how I love this moment when we are reminded what it means to be so deeply touched by the One who loves us forever.
