This episode is a flashback...Christmas 2008....and the story goes...
Our then five year old daughter Grace played Mary and our son Gabriel, three at the time, played a sheep in our church’s yearly Christmas play. The following week the Vicar invited the kids to the front pew for the weekly children’s sermon. The Vicar began by asking Grace who she had played and who had came to see Mary. Grace told the Vicar that Gabriel had came to see Mary. My son Gabriel quickly clarified, “Not me.” This got a little chuckle from the congregation. The Vicar continued by explaining that it was the angel Gabriel. A few minutes later, Gabriel interjected for additional clarification. He exclaimed in a clear voice for everyone to hear, “I Gabriel, but I no angel!” The congregation burst into laughter and as his mom, I was first to agree with his declaration.
