I serve as a deacon at my church and at times Kari wants to do what I do. For example, I help with the collection of offering and setting up of chairs, tables, etc and he gets excited whenever he's involved. I have not been daring enough to actually allow him to help me with the money collection.
Most recently, I was on deacon duty and I decided that we will dress alike. A deacons attire at my church is black and white with black or red tie. Most of Kari's clothes are colored so it was challenging to find him a black and white outfit that he could fit into but we eventually did. You realize your little superstar is growing when all his pants are now shorts and his shirts makes him look like a kiddie body builder.
One of my deacon responsibilities for that day was to greet church members and guests as they arrive. Kari was excited and decided to help. The experience proved how contagious happiness really is and how kids actually help us to identify and appreciate what really matters. They can help us to temporarily forget the demands of the world and once again focus on love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
