I always finish my food long before the children have finished picking through their red beans for the few kernels of rice that taste "plain."  Instead of fussing over how much they eat, like I used to, I have been using the time to talk to them about religion.  We read a little and discuss major ideas.   Tonight, I began to see this pay off.   They're beginning to see my religion as their religion, and use the vocabulary of this path for themselves.
