Children Are A Gift From God

Joy From Unexpected Sources

I never thought I would be so happy. I never thought something so simple as babysitting a little baby or tutoring 2 young children would make me so happy. At the beginning of this year, I cried out to God and asked Him to bring some more people into my life because my life lacked "life". It felt as if my life had ended in this pool of uneventful sludge. Anyway, at the beginning of this year, I prayed that there would have a major change and in my mind, I pictured something more dynamic.

To Hold A Little One In My Barren Arms

Well, a few weeks ago, I started babysitting a little baby who is in desperate need. When this little one came into our life, I felt new life enter into my heart. I was so overwhemingly pleased and thankful with God. I told my Father in heaven that I never thought that this would be the new person in my life but I couldn't think of a more wonderful person. This little young man brought tears of joy to my eyes. May the Lord Bless him and keep him. May the Lord Make His Face to Shine Upon him. May the Lord Lift up His Countenance upon Him and Give him Peace.

Looking Into The Future

Now, today, I just began another little adventure with 2 new children. I am their tutor. Once again, I didn't think that tutoring could be so great. These children are so receptive. I see so clearly how children are our future. I have always had a head knowledge of it and heard people say it. I myself have said it too. But now that I am sitting face to face with these precious young ones, I know that I am looking into the future. I tutor them individually and I have already decided that we would pray before I begin class and pray when we finish. One is 10 and the other is 7. They are both so very eager to learn. As I type this I am thinking "God bless them both".

In Jesus Name!!!!
