Tonight we wrapped up Renew 2010 at church (another one of those obscure Methodist name deals, oh how I love those), which was essentially a revival type deal where we met for 2 services a day for 3 days to renew our faith and commitment. It was wonderful, and the messages were so thought-provoking and uplifting. Dennis enjoyed his program as well, and tonight when I picked him up, he was holding a tongue depressor with a large footprint taped to it. I asked him what that was about, and he said "this means we have to go out in the world and tell people about Jesus and that He died on the cross for us." Amazed, I asked why He did that, and he told me "because He loves us and took our punishment for us." Big stuff from a 3 year old. He insisted on shaking our pastors' hands before we left (as he does at every church visit) and he showed them both his foot and told each of them his message. Brother Brian told him 'Dennis, you make my heart happy.' Dennis apparently thought about this on the way home, because some time after we got here, he said "Mommy, do you know what? God makes my heart super happy." All of it was heartwarming to me!
The picture shows him displaying his sticky Sour Straw coated hands (he calls them 'sour worms'). He wanted to know if the dog would like them, and I said that dogs don't like candy. Dennis said "well, he eats garbage! He likes everything!".
Today he was thankful for "the cars that drive on the highway."
