An
Inkling
Do
any of you ever take yourselves and your problems too seriously? I know I do.
Sometimes the Lord delivers me from my messiah complex by puncturing my
pomposity. He’s never at a lack for the means
to do so. And it can be pretty painful.
But
sometimes his deliverance from self-importance comes gently. And it seems that children are one of his favorite
means for doing so.
One
bonus of working at St. Giles is that I get to see the preschool children here
and there during the day. Their knack
for childlike simplicity and joy serves to remind us that God would give the
same to us as his children. Check out
the attached video snippet from a few days ago when Melanie and Mhilet brought
their class by the office to sing.
What
a gift! It’s part of what Jesus meant
when he said “whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God as a little child
shall never enter it.”
Thanks
kids!
