Angels on Earth, or at least at church
The kids and I were visiting a new church today. It’s been my quest to find a church that better fits the value system and core beliefs I hold dear. We’ve been to several churches this past year. This Sunday was no exception. Today we tried Presbyterian.
Thank goodness Chris and Claire have adventurous spirits. They try on each church with excitement.
I was a few minutes early to the service today, giving us enough time to use the bathroom and find the Sunday School room.
As we walked down the hall we passed an amazing sight. There were thirty to forty elderly women and men standing together in bright white cotton robes with white sashes lining their collars.
One man in particular was breath-taking. He stood over six feet tall with white hair and a long white beard. Picture Santa but taller and thinner.
At this sigh my son, Chris, looked up at me and said with as much clarity and conviction as an almost six year old can muster, “Mom, that must be where all the angels gather.”
Maybe it was because the sight was so amazing. Maybe it was his innocence. But my breath caught in my throat and my eyes began to sting.
My boy saw his first angels.
At that moment I knew today was going to be a great day.

I love the innocence of the children, they do leave one speechless!
