As you can see, I made sure my little one wore red today. I was explaining to her many Christians wear red to church on the 50th day after Easter, Pentecost, because it celebrates the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Apostles and other followers of Jesus Christ. The red represents the fire that came down from heaven as described in the Acts of the Apostles. Chapter 2:1-4 says:
When the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. ~ New King James Version
Of course it is incredible that people would begin speaking other’s languages. This sparked a whole lot of “So was someone speaking Spanish?”, “FIRE BURNS!”, and (my personal favorite) “When is pink day?” I told her God allowed them to speak every language on earth at that time (praying that was the right answer) and that I did not think the fire burned them because it was holy (again, praying that was right). Lastly I told my little one that every day was pink day because pink is for love and God loves everybody everywhere all the time no matter what. And with that, she now has “sound religious doctrine” upon which to base her continual wearing of pink. I suppose with God we are all in the pink.
