Something to Think About - 3

Number 3 in the series entitled "Something to Think About". Hope you are inspired to pause, think, and then take action!

God's Children

The Bible is filled with the phrase "God's children." This is fitting in at least two ways. We need God’s guidance on our life journey, as we try not to get hung up on the things of the world. Instead, we seek to reflect the heart of God in all we do and, as a child to a parent, we seek God’s favor and blessing. Children take joy in things we have long taken for granted—a cool glass of lemonade, running through the sprinkler, a beautiful sunset. As we pass through these summer days, take notice of the children. Will you decide to drink in life a little more deeply like them? What joy can you celebrate today as God’s child?

Praying the scriptures: "Some people brought children to Jesus so that he would place his hands on them and pray. But the disciples scolded them. "Allow the children to come to me," Jesus said. "Don't forbid them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people like these children." Then he blessed the children. (Matthew 19:14-15, CEB)
