The smell of boiled crawfish filled the Louisiana kitchen, mixing with steam rising from the big silver pot. The wooden table was covered in newspaper, already stained with seasoning, and piled high with bright red crawfish, steaming potatoes, and golden corn. Gage sat on his knees, eyes wide as he stared at the mound of crawfish in front of him. His little brother wiggled in his high chair, smacking the tray while Daddy leaned back with a grin, beer in hand. Momma rolled up her sleeves. “Alright, cher, time to learn how to peel a crawfish.” Momma laughed, grabbing a fat crawfish. “Ain’t no wrong way, long as you get the meat out. But I’ll show you the right way.” She held the crawfish up. “First, grab it where the head and tail meet—right here. Now twist.” With a quick motion, she popped off the head. “Some folks suck the head for the good juices.” Gage gagged. “Ew, no way!” Daddy chuckled. “More for me, then!” Momma shook her head, smiling. “Alright, suit yourself. Now, pinch the end of the tail, squeeze a little, and pull.” She slid out the perfect piece of meat and dipped it in butter. “See? Easy.” Gage copied her, his fingers fumbling at first—twist, pinch, pull. Out came the juicy meat. “I did it!” Momma clapped. “That’s my boy! Now try it.” He dipped it in the butter and took a bite. His face lit up. “Mmm! That’s good!” His little brother babbled, reaching for the pile. Daddy laughed. “Looks like we got another crawfish lover.” The kitchen filled with laughter as they peeled and ate, passing corn and potatoes around. Gage wiped his hands and reached for another. “Momma, I think I’m getting good at this.”Momma ruffled his hair. “Told you, cher. Crawfish season ain’t just about eatin’. It’s about family.” And that night, under the warm glow of their Cajun kitchen, Gage became a true crawfish peeler.

BOOK COVER Picture 1 Lia bounced onto the couch, holding up her fingers. “Mom! Only ten more days until my baptism! That’s like… forever! Can’t we just do it tomorrow?” Picture 2 Mom smiled and tucked a loose curl behind Lia’s ear. “I know you’re excited, sweetheart. Baptism is a special day! But remember, waiting isn’t just about counting days—it’s about preparing our hearts.” Picture 3 Lia sighed. “But I am ready! I’ve been ready since last week!” Picture 4 Mom chuckled. “Let’s read a story before bed. I think you’ll like this one.” Picture 5 Lia snuggled under her blanket as Dad opened the scriptures. “Did you know Jesus had to wait for something really special too?” he asked. Lia’s eyes widened. “Really? What?” Picture 6 Dad smiled. “His ministry! Jesus was twelve years old when He taught in the temple, but He didn’t start teaching people everywhere until He was thirty.” Picture 7 “Thirty?!” Lia sat up. “That’s so long!” Mom nodded. “But while He waited, He prepared. He learned, prayed, and listened to His Father in Heaven. When the time was right, He was ready.” Picture 8 Lia thought for a moment. “So… waiting isn’t just waiting?” Dad kissed her forehead. “Exactly. It’s about what we do while we wait.” Picture 9 The next morning, Lia woke up with a new thought. Picture 10 “What if I get extra ready for my baptism?” Picture 11 She helped her little brother tie his shoes. Picture 12 She listened carefully during family prayer. Picture 13 She even asked Grandma about her own baptism day. Picture 14 At bedtime, Lia grinned. “Mom, Dad! Only nine more days until my baptism… and I’m still getting ready!” Mom hugged her tight. “That’s the best kind of waiting, Lia. Jesus is so proud of you.” Picture 15 Lia closed her eyes, her heart full. Baptism was still days away, but she already felt closer to Jesus.
