What we can learn from the kids

Good Thursday morning, my friends.

I really like this article by John Fischer:

What we can learn from the kids by John Fischer Thank goodness Jesus didn't grab a 30 year-old man and say, "Unless you become as one of these, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." No, it's the children he wants us to emulate. Why do you suppose? Here are some possibilities: Kids don't have to be right. Kids will try anything. Kids don't care about their reputations. Kids don't care about skin color, nationality, religion or politics. Kids can make mistakes. Kids don't hold grudges. Kids forgive and forget. Kids don't keep score. Kids can make friends with anybody. Kids don't know the value of money. Kids don't care what the trends are. Kids trust, hope, and believe. "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3)

Find your "inner-child" and pray this prayer through them.

Amazing Grace and Eternal Peace to you,

Bruce

Be near me, Lord Jesus!

I ask Thee to stay

Close by me forever

And love me, I pray.

Bless all the dear children

In Thy tender care

And take us to heaven

To live with Thee there.

Amen.
