This morning during church the Sunday school kids gathered at the front of the sanctuary with red heart stickers in their hands. Jasper stood their proudly, beaming like a weird wild man of Borneo with his single jagged, crooked, front tooth. Sebastian stood smiling with some trepidation. Our Sunday School Leader asked the kids to go into the congregation, find someone they know, place the sticker on them while saying, "God Loves You."

Jasper was off like a rocket. No idea to whom he gave his sticker. Most likely he used it to bandage his tooth, which he plays with non-stop. Honestly, he'll have nothing to play with once that tooth drops out.

Sebastian came towards me to give me a heart. I then asked him to find someone else in the congregation to give his other heart. I watched Seb walk down the aisle and as he reached the end I thought, "Oh well, it's okay that he didn't find anyone."

However, just as I expected Sebastian to turn right and exit the sanctuary he made a left, then another left, heading up the far side of the sanctuary. I thought, "He… has… a… mission. What is he up to?"

A few seconds later Sebastian stopped at one of the rows. Walking into the pews he found a very good friend of mine deep in the crowd and sitting by himself. With an amazing shy smile on his face, Sebastian placed the heart on my friend's chest and I could see him say, "God loves you."

Wow… it was an amazing moment.

Meanwhile I failed my own Valentine's Day. I have been delinquent in getting Tess' her annual Valentine's collage. Tess, with such a big heart, is being very forgiving about the whole debacle.
