My fifteen-year-old son, who has been coming to church since he was a baby, partook of the sacrament for the first time today. There are several GF families in our ward and each sacrament tray holds a small cup of Rice Chex cereal along with the bread. I never had him partake before because I figured if his severe disability made him exempt from baptism, it made him exempt from everything else. It was a very sacred feeling to watch him eat the Rice Check and drink the little cup of water.
I came home from church to an email from his letterboard teacher including a religious lesson she wrote for him based on the "Who Am I?" topic from mormon.org. It was so touching to read how perfectly this nonmember teacher transferred the information into a beautiful lesson. Makes me feel warm all over. :)
