SAVANNAH: "Mommy?" (whispered in church last Sunday with a mouth full of communion bread)
ME: "What, baby?" (whispered in an even lower tone)
SAVANNAH: "I'm eating!"
ME: "I know, honey. Shhh..."
SAVANNAH: "But Mommy! I'm eating The Christ!" (said loud enough for the woman in front of us to turn and grin)
ME: "No, sweetheart. You are eating the BODY of Christ."
I can't help but smile as I remember how adorable she was that day in church, and how in that one moment, Savannah's innocent comment made me stop and contemplate the importance and reverence of taking communion.
