I'll get the water

Last night at dinner...
Matthew: "Can I have some water?"
Daddy gets up from chair...
Joyce: "No, daddy, sit down! You didn't get to rest today at work. I rested so I'll get the water."
Daddy and Mommy (melting inside): "Oh, thank you so much Joyce!"

Give all of yourself to Jesus

Just before bedtime...

Matthew: "Hello, children!"
Everyone else: "Hello... Matthew."
Matthew: "No, I'm a priest and I'm saying 'Hello, Children!' So you have to say 'Hello, Father.'"
Everyone else: "OK... Hello Father."
Joyce: "If you want to be a priest, you cannot get married."
Matthew: "OK."
Joyce: "And you have to give all of yourself to Jesus."
Matthew: (pauses and nods) "OK."

Mom and Dad: silent, savoring the moment, thanking the Lord for these little angels.
