Hey Everybody,
I hope your week is off to a great start. We had a joyous day Sunday. I am looking forward to an enthusiastic study Wednesday night at 7. I hope you will join us.
For today, here are a few thoughts.
Beauty Of A Child
Who can describe the beauty, sweetness, and innocence of a child? A child is more lovely than a sunset joining heaven and earth and infusing the sky with resplendent color; more captivating than a rose dipped in glowing red and bathed in the morning dew.
A child is more enchanting than a starlit night or a meadow of green; more delightful than a spring morning leaping from the womb of night by the gentle kiss of the rising sun. In the sparkling, trusting countenance of a child lies a beauty unequalled in the winsome world of nature.
Jesus loved children. "Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14). Picture Jesus surrounded by children, laughing, talking, and playing with them, clasping them to His breast in an embrace of love divine.
Fortunate indeed is the home that is blessed with children. Their voices of gaiety and laughter resound throughout the house, giving life to brick and mortar, and converting four walls into a citadel of joy. True, there are exasperating moments in the parenting experience. But, if we knew that tomorrow those small fingers would lie cold and stiff in death, would they vex us then as they often seem to now?
How swiftly time passes, how quickly they grow. Crawling, walking, running, starting to school, graduation; how soon they fly from the nest of home. No more goodnight kisses, toys on the floor, endless activities, and "Daddy, will you play with me?" Give them your love, time, and companionship today; tomorrow may be too late.
Life is as transient as the movement of a weaver's shuttle, the wilting of a flower, and the passing of a shadow (Job 7:6;14:2). The spring of childhood swiftly blossoms into the summer of manhood. "Is it well with the child?" (2 Kings 4:26). The heart of each parent contains the answer.
Have a great week!
