As many of you probably know, I love children. I love the things that children say and do. Often I think I will remember these little things, but I do not have enough memory space. So, maybe if I blog about it I will remember it.
Last Sunday during worship I was distributing bread during communion. Since I have only helped with communion twice, I am still trying to figure out which kids take communion and which ones do not. This little girl came forward with her arms crossed across her body signaling to me that she did not take communion. I gave her a blessing saying, "May the Lord bless and keep you each and every day of your life. Amen." She wrapped her little arms around my legs and gave me a hug. She was so thankful for the words of blessing that had been spoken to her.
In Matthew 18:3-4, Jesus says, "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." May we all be as thankful as children!
