So we made it thru another Dubai weekend. Friday is our church day and the kids had their first day of CCE. Church is an experience to say the least. I am not going to to go into the things I don't like I will just tell you the things I do. I like the songs they sing. They are somewhat "folksy" and involve a lot of clapping. There is one called "Gloria" that I really like. It has a lot of clapping in it and after we got home I heard the kids singing it to themselves all day. That was a warm feeling because the kids are not too crazy about going to church right now. It is hard after a long school week to have to get up early for church and not have that Saturday-sleep-in day. After hearing them singing "Gloria" to themselves though I thought- "they are getting something out of this"! I like seeing people from all over the world coming together in a not-so-comfortable place to worship. This place is packed!!! I like that while the kids are at CCE the parents all mingle, drink coffee and hang out together. Lastly, I love that my little son came out of his CCE class, that he did NOT want to go to, with this little prayer. I like that the first thing he said was "that wasn't so bad". Here is his little prayer..It made me tear up!
God My Father
Thank you for my family
