Last night was our Ash Wednesday service at church. I picked up the girls and we ate before going to church and as we were driving to church I explained to Josie what was going to happen, that Mr. Jonathan would be ashes on our head in the shape of a cross. Her response, "Mommy, we don't put dirt on our heads." The girl is too smart and too funny. My response, well we do this one time of year. He response, "Well that is just crazy." She was so excited as we walked into church and she kept teling me "this is crazy." She did great through the service and Jonathan gave us the option of our crosses being on our forehead or on our hand and Josie opted for her hand. I almost cried as I watched Jonathan "mark" her. This was her first Ash Wednesday service that she could actually somewhat understand what was going on. It was very special for me to experience that with her. When we went to get Lollie from the nursery her reaction was hilarious. She just kept pointing to everyone's foreheads. I'm sure she was wondering what she had missed.
Happy Lent everyone!
