Proud Server!

This past Sunday during mass a sweet memory came to mind. Our new seminarian was walking up to Monsignor to hold the Holy Book for him to read from when the memory of Sammy's sweet determination to be just like everyone else came full force into my mind! As I am writing this I am smiling. Sammy wanted to hold the "Book" just like Vinnie, Donnie and Seth always did when they served. Of course those boys were all 5'11" TO 6'2" tall. Sammy.....not so much! SO when Sammy proudly carried the Book and stood on the lower step and held it up for Father Mike to read from there was a pause and Fr. Mike (who is not a tall person) adjusted his glasses, bent down and with a slight grin on his face proceeded to read aloud. I think most of us sitting in the front section of church that Sunday were very entertained and no one was more proud than Sammy himself!! I miss seeing Sammy on the altar serving. Many memories of those days to follow!!

It doesn't get easier, you just get better at it. God is good!
