We’re fasting… but slowly

We were discussing Ramadan with our kids – my almost 5 year old is carrying on discussions about fasting, “I am going to fast” he says, “by not eating too much…” he continued, and we were agreeing, “ok, that sounds good, maybe you can have a small snack”... when all of a sudden, my 3 year old speaks up and says “I am going to *slow*!”

Today marks the start of Ramadan and Muslims all over the world will be fasting for the month. It’s a very spiritual time for us, it’s a time to reflect, to help humanity, to be close to God, and to spend time with family. I hope that I can accomplish all my goals this month, God willing, and to my Muslim sisters and brothers, Ramadan Mubarak to you, and may you have a blessed month.
