These Little Ones
Remember the Sears Christmas Wish Book?
Oh, the excitement/longing that turning those pages would bring to children's hearts?!!
For my grandson the Living Waters Catalogue seems to stir the same kind of response!
Get this!! the day after they got it his best friend came to his house to play;
(someone he has not seen very much due to the times we re in (COVID-19)
Well, he informed his friend he couldn't play until he was done 'looking at my new maganazine'!
This week he asked a little girl playing at the park
"wanna come to my house? I have a new maganazine' (his way of saying magazine)๐
And this catalogue is stress free!
no need to worry that they might be exposed to something negative!
It's so important to guard their little hearts
and nourish their minds with upbuilding things!
Train up a child in the way he should go,
[a]And when he is old he will not depart from it.
Prov.22:6
Yesterday...
Sometimes I wonder as I watch you
Run and laugh and play
What your pretty, sturdy hearts
Will dare to dream someday
I wonder what will dash and cheer you
Comfort or dismay
Will you trust the Lord to hear you
When you kneel and pray
What will shape you, hurt you, heal you
Through days dark or fair
Will you trust the One wo keeps you
In His loving care?
Sometimes I wonder as I watch you
Innocent, carefree
Watching those who watch and teach you
Who you’ll grow to be
