Before we had kids I remember watching other people's children, particularly at church. Waving palm branches, going up front for the children's moment or singing in the children's choir. The longing ( or perhaps it was just plain envy) I felt to share in the experience of their proud parents would often bring me to tears.
Well this past Sunday was my turn!! And the tears that flowed were those of pure pride and joy. We have a wonderful music director who led 52 kids (ages 4 - 5th grade) in a production of Bethlehem's Best. The older children had solos and speaking parts, the younger ones were part of the angel chorus. Cassidy and Carter sat quietly when they were supposed to and sang excitedly when they were supposed to. It was a wonderful performance and no doubt the first of many proud moments!
