The  "7 " year old Priest

(I just read a story online about an 11 year old boy who is a Minister.  He said God spoke to him in a dream and told him to read  psalm 23.  He said he gave his first sermon at 7 years old.)     He reminded me of Al.

 As Halloween 2009 was approaching, I kept asking Alec what he wanted to be for Halloween.  He didn't know, so I kept suggesting things;  I said do you want to be a dinosaur?,  he said , NO.  I said do you want to be a Giraffe?,  he said, NO.  I suggested many more ideas and he said NO to them all.  Then I said,  Hey Al do you want to be a Priest for Halloween,  like Father McCormick?  And he excitedly said,   YES!   He said I want my priest costume to be Green like Father McCormick's.  So I got Green fabric and cut a hole in the middle to slip over his head , then I put a white cross on the front.  Alec did not approve, he wanted the cross bigger.  So I made it bigger,  Alec still did not approve he wanted it even bigger ,  he was very particular and wanted it to look just like Father McCormick's.  I was not sure exactly what I was doing wrong,  but it took me like 5 times of changing the cross before  Alec was happy with it.  He had to have  it  just right.  I even asked him if he wanted to be something else and he said NO,  he only wanted to be a Priest like Father McCormick.  He was so proud of his costume, he loved being a Priest and he looked so adorable.  It melted our hearts  and it was quite fitting for Alec.  Since he always had Great Faith and Love for God.  

Father McCormick loved this and it was clear it melted his heart to see Alec dressed like him and that Alec  wanted to be him for Halloween.

Laura,

This brought tears to my eyes. I remember that Halloween, I remember Alec being so happy, and I remember the looks on people's faces when they saw him at their door. I remember one man, who looked like he was going to cry; he put his hand on Al and said, "God bless you." Alec touched everyone... even on Halloween!

Love,
Holly
xoxo

It was a perfect costume. I remember how proud Al was to wear it at the Halloween party at church. EVERYONE loved it and everyone loves Al.
