"Give me the faith of Peter!"

My husband said Oscar must have been listening really well to the readings at mass on Sunday. This morning during breakfast, in order to stop the petty arguing & squealing between the kids (isn't it easy to get irritated when your days start like this?!), I broke out in song while making pancakes. I started singing a song from a wonderful CD of Catholic children's songs that we received last January from Seton Home Study for Olivia's first grade curriculum. The CD is filled with awesome tunes & lyrics teaching about the Catholic faith! Personally I LOVE it, and the kids do too. It sounds to me like they copied this cd from an old record. I just love the 'vintage' sounding voices. Songs are always such a great way to memorize just about anything!

I started singing the first song on the CD......"A very good man named Daniel, told a very bad king one day....." as soon as I started singing the kids chimed in too! think: diversion.....

I continued, "I never will serve your idol, a false god made of clay. There's only one God I'll worship, the living God on high......Lord, give me the faith of Daniel, until the day I die!"....then suddenly,

I was interrupted......

Oscar said "I want the faith of Peter!".....I said "Oh! that's wonderful Oscar"....he said "Yeah, 'cause I want to walk on water!"

Here's a pic of my little aspiring "Peter" so diligently doing his school work today:

praying for child-like faith......
