I stood in the kitchen, rocking newborn Mara, while eighteen month -old Melissa sat on her Dad's knee, slowly waking up from a long nap.
The topic of discussion for the last hour was,
''How on earth can we manage to get to church as a family with three little ones, all on different schedules?" Every choice of service or church had some complication or difficulty that seemed insurmountable. It seemed an impossible situation and I resigned myself to simply staying at home on Sundays for the time being.
Suddenly, we were both startled as a flushed and distraught three year old Matthew came running into the kitchen. He was still groggy from his nap but was able to yell in very loud voice,
"Jesus says come, Jesus says come!!!
We were both stunned into silence. The deep discussion was over.

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful family with us--each of their faces is beautiful. And for sharing your words of wisdom. I'm sure Jesus drops in alot just to watch you. You don't know how lucky you are. Or maybe you do.
