In The Beginning
Wee one,
as I look into your eyes
I hunger to see the world through them
as I once did!
I can almost feel
the long forgotten magic!

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!
