Children: A Blessing From God

Psalm 127:3-5 NIV
Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

During my time off, the girls and I spent a couple of days at a local Days Inn. It had a swimming pool and of course we decided to enjoy some time in the pool. Tayten, my youngest daughter, said out of the blue, “No feet are allowed out of the water” or something to that effect. And we realized that she was looking at the “no diving” sign on the wall which depicted a swimmer diving into the pool with the legs and feet out of the water. We busted out laughing as we explained what the sign really meant. It made perfect sense why she would think of the sign in that way considering her age (6 years old). – JSS

Matthew 19:13-15 NIV
Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
