Well this was too cute not to share and too big of a deal as well. Brenden finally has been able to serve our church in some small way...as an altar boy for Stations of the Cross. Ever since Knox started he has been begging me to ask Fr. Ben if he could learn something. He is so eager to help at church in any form. Lucky for us till recently we had a sacristan who was always finding him special jobs to do for her and he was so proud to help in his own way.
I can't tell you how many pictures I have of this kid being dressed up as a priest as well as an altar boy here at home. Ever since we rounded up our mass kit parts a few years ago at the Goodwill, and his siblings made their sacraments. He has been at attention and waiting his turn. He always wants to be the altar server in the end, and makes Knox be the part of the priest. Anyway, here were some recent photos of them using their mass kit.
Zoe's practicing making her First Communion, only on the tongue ;)
SO now... presenting Brenden as a real Altar server... be sure and scroll to the end...where his rope fell off...
Rope was coming off and I saw Fr. Ben stifle a smile ..lol I am so proud of the boys. Brenden finally had a dream come true! He didn't stop talking about it last night or this morning. He keeps reminding me how he is going to be doing it now every week. Deo Gratias!
