A Little Child Shall Lead Them

This weekend, I had a "Mommy Pay Day." I was making Eble Skivers for my children for breakfast, which like many breakfast meals, you eat as they come out of the pan so they are hot. I had just finished the first batch of Eble Skivers, called my children over to the table for breakfast, and the phone rang. I told my children to go ahead and eat and I would put in the next batch and join them in a few minutes. While I was loading up the pan and talking on the phone, I glanced over at my children to make sure they weren't making a mess of the sugar, and I honestly started to cry. I told the person on the phone I had to go, and I quickly went over to my children who sat at the table with heads bowed, arms folded and eyes closed. They were saying a blessing over the food together. Oh...words don't describe how grateful my heart felt in that moment. Maybe, just maybe I am teaching my children something, and it's sinking in somehow. And, in turn, they continue to teach me with their sweet and little (yet enormous) examples.
