Today we celebrated “All Saints Day”. We learnt that Halloween is actually All Saints Eve. Holy Evening = Halloween, get it?
Anyway, Christine talked to us about the fact that the bible refers to all in Christ as saints, so all the kids got to go one at a time into the bathroom to look for a real live saint. I was waiting for them and although I am a saint 🙂 I was not the one they were to find, the saint was looking back at them in the mirror.
Then we all made stained glass windows in the shape of a cross with the names of saints in our lives, people who have shone Christ to us throughout our years.
It was a great afternoon, especially the giant game of kick to kick footy on the front lawn.
It must be refreshing to get to look at your faith through the eyes of your children.
nothin’ like it!
