This evening while nursing our newest blessing off to sleep, I was blessed to overhear our eldest praying. "God, in Jesus' name, please help me and my sister to pay attention when Mama and Daddy read to us and to listen and pay attention when people are talking to us." This is an area where she has recently been struggling a little (she is four after all). I was blessed to know that she knows that her heavenly Father can help her when she needs help. I was also amazed that she went to Him on her own, with absolutely no prompting from anyone. I was then humbled. When I am struggling, is my first response to sweetly and simply ask my Father for the help I so desperately and obviously need? Oh, to have the faith of a child!
"Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.'" Matthew 18:2-4
Learning from my little ones,
Wife
