HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
August 16, 2016Tiny feet
Scampering about,
Carry a wee one
Full of promise!
From such as this
Once was born
A Savior!

AS SUMMER VACATIONS BECOME MEMORIES …
August 14, 2016Lord, you offer us
a foretaste of heaven
as we stumble through this world.
Let us taste its sweetness today
as we walk
side by side with you.

THE RHUBARB PIE PARABLE – ANOTHER TINY TEACHER
August 5, 2016I, like most of you, have been thinking a lot about the sad and frightening news stories of late. They seem to grow in number. I love children and the ones I listen to give me hope for the future. This is my second tiny teacher post in two days . . . perhaps a series is coming!
I recall this conversation, but not the source. . . still, it needs sharing!
CHILD: Daddy, what’s sin?
(Daddy explains)
CHILD: Then why would people choose to sin?
DADDY: I guess some people crave sin like others crave rhubarb pie!
CHILD: I don’t like rhubarb pie!
DADDY: Me either!

TINY TEACHER . . . “STILL A BEAR!”
August 4, 2016We often shake out heads and mutter “oh, the world today . . . ” or the other phrase, “these kids today . . . ” I think,and the Bible urges, that we MUST be like the children to positively change the world . . .
Grandma read a book to her littlest granddaughter, then this conversation started:
Child: Grandma. I’m beige.
Grandma: I guess so.
Child: You’re beige too.
Grandma: Yep
Child: Grandpa is dark beige.
Grandma: Yep. People come in all different colors.
Child: Like bears. Right?
Grandma: Right.
Child: But they’re still all bears.
Grandma: Yes they are.
Thanks, Grandma Gerrie!

Message From A Child On Peace
July 25, 2016The following quote HAS to shared. In the enlightened times where we still hear of cruel political figures and both random and mass shootings often from misdirected CHILDREN, let this and our faith in the Lord give us joy and hope!
Think of all the beauty still left around you and be happy.– Anne Frank – |

What Children Teach Us
December 19, 2013We teach children how to measure and how to weigh. We fail to teach them how to revere, how to sense wonder and awe. – Harold Kushner
Jesus told us we must be like children. There is much to learn from them.
