Just a quick story that sums up a lot of experiences here. Blessings poured out to the fullest in the least expected moments and often from the least expected people.
There was a battle waging against me and a 4 year old who was insistent on not listening but instead was fighting; kicking and pinching me. For various reasons, all of which come down to the simple fact that I was out of ideas and knew not what else to do, I was trying to just keep them in bed. Tony came into the room we were in and just watched for a few minutes. Then he says with a voice of urgency and in English, "sister Sarah, say Thank you Jesus for (name with held to not mar the name). The frustration and doubts of the moment were quickly defeated with the simple reminder of a 5 year old. I am blessed to be given the opportunity to love such precious creations.
"Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. Assuredly, I say to you whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it." And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them. Mark 10:14-16
The beautiful, uncomplicated faith of a child. Lord, that is what I desire. Thank you, Jesus, for Tony...Dorca, Agusto, Carolina, Vasco, Nede, Tenache, Nune, Gina, and Carolina.
Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteWhat lessons you are learning, and then passing on to the rest of us.
Think of you often, and pray for your journey with Jesus.
Thank you Jesus, for Sarah :)
Love in Christ,
