I hear this song on the radio about everyday....and I like it. (I'm back into a country music phase) Anyway, I like that title because there are those moments when I make myself sit and be still before God, and I silently reflect on my day....in those moments I can see where God was with me and was revealing Himself to me all day long...times at work are especially evident. I am so blessed to get to work with children.
" But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Luke 18:16
The children I work with remind me of the truth in this verse. Everday I see pure joy flowing from their hearts...the same joy that resides in my soul because it belongs to God....but too often I let the daily downers of this world hide my joy and it doesn't flow as freely as it does with these kids. It makes me wish all of them weren't confined to a hospital, because it means that so few people have the opportunity to know them. I do not know ONE person that has entered the doors at TCC and not been moved by spending a few moments with these children. They see God clearly, they love God wholeheartedly, they accept Him without question. What would the world be like if all Christians "let their light shine" like these kids do? I want to be like them. I LOVE hearing my grandparents say that I am their "pride and joy", and I think that's how Jesus was refering to children in this scripture. I want him to say that about me, too!
