Fleshly comforts are much more attractive, aren’t they? I have to catch myself not falling into that trap, and daily die to self. One of my weaknesses are sitcoms. If it is my time to spend with the Lord, and a good sitcom is on, I have to really argue with myself to switch that TV off.
Last night I fully understood why Jesus wants us to have faith like children (Matt 18:3), as my toddler seems to grasp the importance of dying to self a lot quicker than me.
She loves the “Our Father” and during her bedtime prayer she asked, “Mommy, what’s the one with the bread and the devil?” 😀 When I reminded her without trying to laugh, she proceeded to say the prayer, little hands together, eyes tightly closed and ended with,
WOW!!! From the mouth of babes! And a little child has led you….wink, wink. What a sweetheart!
Haha – the things that come out of her mouth can keep us in laughs for sure hehe
Amen . . . and Amen! Precious truth!
…followed by many of my own precious laughs – cant let her see though as she gets upset hehe
You need to write these things down; we wish that we would have!
Yes I have been keeping a little book of all the funny things she has said since she started talking! Its become a real treasure. It is so nice to look back on it every year and have a good old laugh 😀
“out of the mouth of babes”
“out of the mouth of babes…” 🙂
and definitely some funnies out of that babe’s mouth! hehe
I’m often reminded by my 2 girls how precious and simple faith should be! Blessings to you and your daughter!
Thank you very much…she makes me laugh often that one! 😀
