Both of my boys are getting to an age where they are excited to not just be a spectator, but a participant. So one Sunday they watched one of their friends (who was 7 years old at the time) passing our Communion trays. Every Sunday we take communion where we celebrate the body and blood of Jesus Christ. They pressed us, mostly their mom, to be able to serve communion. She told them that when they were 7 they could pass the trays with daddy. I was just as excited as they were. This was one of the things I did growing up and hadn't served a tray since I was in college. So a few Sundays back they turned 7 and on that day we helped serve the communion to our church. They did an awesome job and ever since they desire to serve communion every Sunday. Right now we are serving it together, but as they get older and keep learning they will be able to do it on their own.
I love that they have found something that makes them feel like a participant in worship. I love that they want to serve. I love their enthusiasm. I love how this one act in our worship service has made them more invested in the entire service. I love watching them grow into godly men. God's grace is evident in my parenting. He is truly using Leah and me to raise our kids to love God, Jesus, Holy Spirit, and ALL people.
