With A Heart Of A Child!!
Sitting here this morning just enjoying the breaking forth of a new day. Watching as the sun rises over the hill’s of the Hill Country of Texas and it is so breath taking to behold. I find it hard to believe that anyone could ever think this was all an accident, that is beyond comprehension to me.
The birds are singing this morning, making melody in their hearts as they sing and bring in the new day. They set a good example for us, to bring in the day, with a song in our heart, even when our heart’s feel broken, we can begin to offer the Lord the sacrifice of praise, of worship and allow Him to draw us into His presence.
Having my youngest daughter, Elise, here for a couple of weeks is good for this dad’s heart and for her mom. To hear the excitement in her heart, the plans that she has, the dreams and the hopes. I am so thankful to the Lord for opening a wide door of communication in my life with her. Also with my oldest daughter, Gloria and my son Joshua.
I want to encourage mom’s and dad’s, grandparent’s, single mom’s and dad’s to never be so busy with anything that you can’t stop and listen to the hearts of your children because one day you might wake up and they are gone and so are the moments and times that you could have had with them. Begin today to gain back those moments and let them be the center of your attention at that moment and time.
Our children are a trust given to us, they are a treasure to our hearts. Yes there are times that it is heart breaking when you watch them go through things in their lives and the only tool that you have is prayer, lots of prayer and faith in God, that He will watch over them and keep them in the hollow of His hand.
Lift your children, your grandchildren to the Lord each day. Cover them in prayer and pray a hedge of covering over them and pray that the Word of God would be written upon their hearts and become part of who they are. Lift them up, encourage them and let them know how precious they are.
As grandparents, it is a double blessing, when our grandchildren come and talk to us and share their child like faith and we have the honor of being there for them. To encourage them in the Lord.
When my grand daughter Rebekah came up to me and said, “You know what grandpa?” and I said, “What?”, she said, “I really do love Jesus!” That melted my heart!
Oh, the faith of a child, how we need that in this day and time! To simply believe and know that God’s word is true.
Till later,
Paul
