I had the pleasure of babysitting two of my favorite little guys yesterday, Jack and John. What I love about watching little ones is their absolute curiosity and fearless nature. Children always let you know what's in their heart and on their minds, and Jack always has something spectacular on both of his! So in our playtime, he wanted to play Bible stories. I love that the Bible is what Jack wants to act out. That those are the stories he's familiar with, jumping in and out of his imagination, forming his character and understanding of the things of God. Here's a chat we had...
Jack: I built us a boat! Let's play Jesus and the devil. You be Jesus!
Me: No way! I don't want to play with the devil!
Jack: Okay, I won't invite him on the boat.
It was that simple. A child knows if you don't want to play with evil, you don't invite it in.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14 (NIV)

- You've entered my playground for words. A daydreamers game of teeter-totter for passion and thought. As a woman who loves accessories, I see God's grace as the ultimate fashion statement. It's one size fits all and will compliment any person, any lifestyle. I think of that when I get dressed, and just as I would reach into my jewelry box to put on a pair of earings, I reach deep inside myself each morning and make sure I put on my sparkling jewel of Grace, doubts and all, because God's Grace is simply receiving a gift I don't deserve. And like all gifts, this one should be accepted. It says something to us from God; that He loves us. It also says something about us; that we need Him. Grace is given to complete our relationship with the Father. It carries a bold message that God thinks we deserve His intimacy. He wants us to wear His Grace so we feel it upon us, gently lying across our pain and shortcomings, covering them with His enabling power. So as I accessorize myself with God's graciousness, I write Him a thank you note with my strength and my praise. You are Accessorized with Grace so don't forget to put it on each day!

That Jack seems like a great kid....he must have a wonderful mother (-:
I'm sure he does! So great in fact, that I bet she is wise beyond her years and gets lessons from God in her everyday life that would bless others a ton! I bet she's such a great mom that God is entrusting her with yet another child to raise up for His army...it's just a guess though ;) And since I'm guessing, I'd say she is loved more than she knows and counted as a blessing to all who know her!!
