Please Bless Them
People brought their small children to Jesus, so that Jesus
could touch them. But the followers told the people to stop
bringing their children to Jesus.
-- Mark 10:13 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
We can never seem to find enough time to do the things we need to do.
So who gets left out in the "busy-ness" of life? Children tend to be
forgotten, neglected, ignored, put off, or left out when schedules get
crunched -- and this is true even in our child-dominated cultures. Even
when children are a key part of adult schedules, this time is often
centered on their performing or competing against other children. We
take such little amounts of time to just be with children and let them
just be with us -- nothing to do, to win, or to perform, just be with
us. This reality is nothing new. Children often have been left out,
pushed to the periphery of life, or simply neglected. Jesus had many
important things to do. The disciples just didn't realize children
should be viewed as very important. Jesus did. Now so should we!
TODAY'S PRAYER:
O Father in heaven, thank you. Thank you for the gift of children.
Thank you for the gift of future. Thank you for the gift of wild-eyed
wonder. Help me to show the children around me that they are special
and important -- not only to me, but also to you.
