HOLY MACARONI 554
A few evenings ago, our family
was watching "Little House On The Prairie."
We were watching the episode in which
the oldest daughter, Mary, marries Adam.
As the minister asked if there was anyone
in the congregation who had any objections
to these two being united in holy matrimony,
"Matthew (age 7) asked...
"Holy macaroni? What's holy macaroni, mommy?"
We tried to explain the difference, but found it
rather difficult.
We did find it easy, however, to count
our blessings...for the innocence of youth,
and their simple faith and love.
