Out of the mouth of babes.... - 12:54, Tuesday, December 16, 2008 |
Today I was having a particularly challenging day. My 8 yr old son, Paul wrote this note to me and it was as if Jesus had written it Himself....... it was exactly what I needed to hear! So precious.....my son who is is learning how to write...so his note was very child like..... but oh so precious!
"Dear Mom, I know this is long, but you need to trust Jesus and you need to be happy when things go bad and happy when things go good. - Paul " Oh how I needed to hear this today! It was as if Jesus Himself was speaking to me! I do need to remember to praise God when things are going poorly as when things are going smoothly and well! If we are only praising God for the good -- shall we not praise Him for the bad too? Job said that..... It was like a jolt hit me when I read this note........my Lord was telling me to have JOY!!!! I hugged paul and was teary and when I looked down at him I saw tears coming down his cheeks too... Out of the mouth of babes, Thank you, Lord! ~ gloria ~ |

A Glimpse Of God Through The Eyes Of A Child - 02:29, Wednesday, December 17, 2008
A blessed Spirit Among Us. It is a blessing when children remind us that His presence is near. Sometimes only a child can hear what many of us adults try so hard to find during our rush to fill our days and create "home" as Martha tried so hard to do in the Bible.I am reminded of the following scripture:
Jesus called a little child over to him. He had the child stand among them. Jesus said, "What I'm about to tell you is true. You need to change and become like little children. If you don't, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Anyone who becomes as free of pride as this child is the most important in the kingdom of heaven.
"Anyone who welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me."
Matthew 18:2-5
It's often hard to have the faith of a child, but that glimpse you just described is a gift, most assuredly, from our Heavenly Father.
Thank You Dear Sister! ((Hugs))
