Father Al would be so proud!

As we all know, Mad Molly is a big fan of going to church but clearly she thinks more about it then I ever imagined.  This afternoon while playing she pipes up with an exuberant shout "I've got a good idea", jumps to her feet grabs a handful of memory cards from the memory game that was played earlier and quickly leaves the room. I hear a kitchen cabinet open, the rustling of pots and other random kitchen gadgets and a resounding "I've got it" a few minutes later Mad Molly comes back in the living room and hands out memory cards to each of us and says,  "Here's your money, don't lose it OK!. When the man comes give it to the basket." Now, knowing my child's fascination with mass and all things related to church,  I don't really know why I was confused as to where she was going with this but it all quickly became clear when she once again left the living room only to return with my small handled strainer filled with other "money pieces" asking for us to put our money in the basket. It gave me a good chuckle which turned into a side splitting laugh when after depositing my "money" in the basket she says "Thanks for Jesus, God would be proud!"
Clearly she wants to devote her life to service for the Lord!
