and for the little baby, mama...

We have been doing Easter prayers everyday with the boys during the Lenten season (I promise to write more about this as time permits), so last night, after talking about the meaning of Good Friday, I said to Emmanuel and Reese....

"Jesus died on the cross for a little boy named Reesie...and a little boy named Emmanuel...a big girl named Carmen...and big boy named Eli...and everybody else in the whole wide world!"

Emmanuel looked at me with those huge chocolate eyes and said, "Mama...Jesus died for the little baby in your tummy, too!"  Holding back tears, I hugged his neck and I said, yes, sweet angel, Jesus died for the little baby in my tummy, too.  

Amen.
