I am Blessed

As Devin and Kristen are off at the hospital for IV therapy this morning. I have a chance for a quiet morning to catch up with all the cards Kristen's received. I'm such a wuss. I looked through them with tears streaming down my face. I'm especially touched by the drawings and crafts from the little ones. Some who know Kristen and one that has no idea but faithfully sends her love. There is something about the magical love of a child. It's innocence. It is pure and true. As I looked up references about having faith of a child, Matthew 18:3 and Mark 10:15 really spoke to me. Jesus spoke about coming to the Kingdom of God like little children. Whether the child is a great artist or not makes no difference. It's the purity of their hearts that I see as I look at their drawings. It reminds me to love the Lord with that same pure, true innocence. Children truly are a blessing from God.

I am also blessed by getting to spend a few days in the presence of both my children and to enjoy them. Who they are right now.
