Communion - Grayslake Photographer

Our little girl received her First Holy Communion last weekend.  My faith has evolved from when I was in second grade and I find it difficult as a parent to pass that down to my children.  It's challenging not to pass down beliefs as truths.  Everyone has their own spiritual truths.  I hope that we are setting a good foundation for them to joyfully explore theirs.  

I often don't have all the answers they search for.  

"If God made the universe, who made God?"

I actually rarely have the answers they seek.  

I want them to know that the answers they seek are to be found inward.  

They just need to seek and they will find.  

Above all I want to show them this by example:

"This is my simple religion.  There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy.  Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness."
