Today I’m thankful for my faith and I’m thankful for my religious education. I do not subscribe to all of the beliefs of the Catholic Church by far, but it is important to me to have faith. I have to believe in something…greater than this world. Of course doubt will creep in and make me wonder and question. At the end of the day, though, I have faith in God. I may not understand his plan and I may not like the way his plan unfolds at times. I may get angry with God for things that happen and question why thing have to be the way that they are. Why can’t He just fix everything and make it all better? In the same breath, I have to remind myself that I don’t know God’s plan and I have been incredibly blessed in this life.
I don’t want to get deeply religious here. I’m just thankful to believe in something because I can’t imagine a life where I believed in nothing. I’m trying to teach the kids that as well. We say a prayer when we see an ambulance or hear a siren. We have a children’s bible that Evelyn enjoys reading once in a while. We talk about God and our blessings. They have SEED time at school, which is a lessons that incorporate religion and God. Someday, they will both have more in-depth religious education, but I think we are making a good start.
