As we sang "I'm Trying To Be Like Jesus" I watched two boys, eleven years old, wrap their arms around one another's shoulders and rock together to the best of the song. It was, to me, a sweet testament to the very song we sang. One of these boys has recently been struggling with his faith, but watching him happily sitting with his friend, listening to the words of Christ's love, I could feel the warmth of the Spirit.
I do not know what lies ahead for these two boys. Will they remain friends? Will they stay faithful to Christ? Will they remember this small moment? I don't know. But I do know that this moment, and the peace that it brought to me will stay in my memory for a long while.
