Ethan, Jesus, & Mary Poppins

For the past few Sundays Ethan has opted to sit with us in church rather than stay in the nursery. He does pretty well keeping quiet. This past Sunday's sermon was based on perception...how something that looks ordinary to one person can be turned into something extraordinary in someone elses hands. (Based on Matthew 14:13-21...Where for most people the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish just look like a fish sandwich, but in Jesus hands fed 5,000 people) The sermon started out with the analogy of an umbrella. How for most people an umbrella shields us from the rain but in Mary Poppins hands it allowed her to fly. Ethan perked right up because we got Mary Poppins for Valentine's Day and has been obsessed with it ever since. All of a sudden in his little voice your heard "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down". We couldn't hold in our laughter:) And it was such a priceless moment. We did make it through the service but not without a chorus of "Step in Time".
