She reads the Bible every night. Actually, being two, I guess she's just looking at the pictures. Sometimes during our nightly routine of story-time, prayer, tucking-in and kiss good night, she asks for her bible. She then sits in her crib and flips through the pages as I tell her about the story behind the picture. (We pray that the Lord would always give her a love for the Word of God.)
A few nights ago, when she flipped to the picture of the tongues of fire upon the apostles at Pentecost, she started singing, "Happy Birthday," thinking the tongues of fire were candles on a birthday cake. I said, "No, no honey, those aren't candles, that's the Holy Spirit descending on each of the apostles."
Yesterday she saw the picture again and said, "Cake." Then, I realized that all along she was right. It was a birthday party - the birth of the church, Pentecost!
I wonder if angels in heaven were singing, "Happy Birthday to you" on that wonderful day that the church was born!
