What is completely amazing is that the last time she would have seen him swim would have been back in August during the Olympics. We excitedly cheered Michael on to each one of his gold medals. I would dare say it was the excitement of the moment and the repetition of the eight times of cheering for the same person that burnt that moment in her memory. What ever it was, that week of cheering made an impression.
It made me think! What is it about our walk with Christ that could make that kind of impression on our young children? When our children sit in church with us and experience worship what do they take from that? I believe that they understand far more than what we give them credit.
What in our culture do we cheer on? What do they see as our passions? What indelible imprint are we making on children's memories? Are they passions for the lost? Are they passions for the things of Christ? What in our lives will they want to imitate?
Just a thought!!
Oh ... FYI ... Mattea will just be turning 3 on 19th of November!!
