I’ll never forget the day I sat down to study my Bible and discovered my toddler had beaten me to the pages. Scribble marks adorned two chapters in Luke—big loopy scribbles in permanent blue ink. “Oh, no!” reverberated within. This was my favorite Bible, the one I spent time with daily over a hot cup of coffee. I was learning to do inductive study with this Bible and marking key words with care. I’d cringe if I had to erase a bit of colored pencil, knowing it wouldn’t be clean. But this was more than a smudged word. Two entire pages had been ruined.
I sat my little girl on my lap to explain gently that she couldn’t color in mommy’s Bible. She’d meant no harm, of course, but this was a teachable moment. She couldn’t go around taking pen to paper in books around the house.
But in that moment, the Lord graciously spoke to my heart. My daughter hadn’t taken a pen to any other books, only this book. She was modeling what she’d seen.
“Sweetie, were you ‘studying’ like Mommy?”
She smiled, nodding her head big.
It became my teachable moment. Instead of focusing on “the rules” or my angst over the pages, I could see the bigger picture. God had been moving in my little girl’s heart, drawing her to His Word. She wanted to interact with it in the only way she knew how. Lifting my focus helped me to see God at work, which changed everything.
It’s often easy to miss God’s hand at work, just as many did when Jesus walked the earth. I’m astounded when I read of the man Jesus healed by the pool of Bethesda because of the scene afterward. People had seen this man lying around for thirty-eight years, and suddenly he was walking. Yet no one asked, “Wow! What happened? How were you cured?” No one praised God that he’d been delivered from decades of infirmity. Instead, the healed man is chastised for carrying his pallet on the Sabbath. And the Jewish leaders want to know, not who cured him, but who had the audacity to tell him to pick up his pallet and walk with it (John 5:12).
Jesus, the Son of God, was there among them. A miracle had been done in their midst. Yet focusing on the rules of the Sabbath, they missed the Lord of the Sabbath.
How often do we do the same? How often are we so focused on one side of a circumstance that we miss God’s purposes altogether?
Jesus is the author of life. And He brings not only life but also light, grace, and glory into that which seems dead, dark, and overwhelming (Ac 3:15, 2Co 4:6). We’re told to walk by faith and not by sight (2Co 5:7) because when our eyes are faith-filled, we see the divine. We see God.
Jesus is always working in every facet of our lives and the lives of those around us. Let’s pray to keep our eyes fixed on Him so that we can behold every moment.

It is true….sometimes I’m so focused in the wrong direction to notice how God is moving.
To live by Faith and not by sight has a new meaning. ❤️
❤️
Leaving a legacy and knowing God is doing something good even when we don’t fully understand.
Lord help me to keep my eyes on you! ❤️
❤️
What a great reminder that our littles see our actions and imitate. It’s easy to get frustrated when they slow us down, but we forget the whole point is to teach them. How blessed are we that they want to follow us, and what an honor it is to be their teacher and show them God’s way.
I must look to God’s purpose in all my circumstances.
❤️
A much needed reminder to re-train myself to look for God’s purpose in all circumstances.
Jesus’ question to the man by the pool, “Do you want to get well?” really hits me. Healing can be scary, but He doesn’t ask for perfection, just willingness. Faith is active, often starting with a small step, and true healing is more than physical, it’s about living in freedom. This story reminds me that God is always at work, restoring, renewing, and offering life, even when I can’t see it yet ❤️
I love that you anchored to willingness – this is key!
I was so delighted to see my daughters tiny scribbles in my Bible, and I was so excited to share the story with my MIL. Who is pretty religious, but all she said was how I need to teach them not to do that. Of course I don’t want to encourage it but I am happy and hope my girls continue to read the Bible and grow closer to the Lord
You could get them a coloring bible
I literally had the same experience with my daughters writing in my Bible, and I came to the same realization. I am so happy that my kids see me reading and highlightsing in my Bible.
This is a real joy to read this morning! God is working all things to His glory. He is a healer and author of all of life. My prayer is to have an eye inclined to see his handy work. Just like in this devotional, my prayer is to be able to not be clouded by the “rules” but rather see the big picture. Knowing the scriptures has grown my understanding of God and therefore my ability to hear the still small voice of His Spirit.
I am so comforted by today’s reading, and this verse also comes to mind.
James 1:19: “My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires”
Praying for you sisters!
Prayer request:
– Favor in my work, I work in entertainment in Hollywood.
– Provision for a female Christian mentor that works in my field to walk alongside me as I work in the vocation and I want to point to the Lord.
Praying for a Christian mentor in your challenging work environment.
I have a couple of Bibles that my daughters have helped me “study” in. No pages were ruined, although a couple were definitely scribbled on in one Bible. In another, a different daughter drew pictures in the margins where there were study notes printed. (It was a Bible Study Leader’s Bible.) Neither daughter is particularly interested in God’s word right now, so I pray and long for the day when these Bibles will be treasured heirlooms to be passed on to them and future generations. I’m so glad that the devotional author had the wisdom to see the beauty in her daughter’s illustrations, and I’m sure she will someday hand them down to her daughter with love.❤️
I’m already at work on my first 10 minute break. Right away when I read this, I had a memory flashback. I too had my Bible written on, by my then, toddler, but it was the front cover and ink as well. This morning my daughter was sitting next to me during quiet time and I asked her to forgive me if I had gotten angry because I don’t remember. She laughed and remembers that day. She said she felt bad because it was my Bible. She recalled how smooth it was and loved it. I’m thankful now as a young adult, she sits next to me reading the WORD! Happy Monday, sweetie! Back to work and I was so happy to see all the kiddos. I miss them so much.
Happy Monday ❤️
The Father’s rest after creation did not mean inactivity. God’s creative activity continues in preservation and mercy, and the Son shares in that unceasing work.” – George R. Beasley-Murray
Found this in a commentary as I was studying Jesus’s response to healing the man in John 5. Mercy triumphs over judgement.
Mercy Triumphs OVER Judgement!! (heart!)
I found that truth awhile back and underlined it in my Bible
This lesson today and what every one has shared has left me of just the sweetest peace. When our eyes are faith filled we see the divine!
Praying for all.
Oh,I meant to share that line, too! Thanks for doing so, Cheryl! ❤
Tina, little children teach us so much! Love your story! This is why I teach 2-3 year olds! They teach me new things every Sunday!
Makes me think about the saying of the forest and the trees. Lord, let me see BOTH the forest and each tree… and not miss what YOU are doing. Rescue me from pharisaical thoughts.
Thank you, again, to all who prayed for me yesterday. I had incredible endurance- no nap needed- and the day was absolutely blessed-quite a testimony to the power of prayer! Love you all!
From the devo:
“We’re told to walk by faith and not by sight (2Co 5:7) because when our eyes are faith-filled, we see the divine. We see God.
Jesus is always working in every facet of our lives and the lives of those around us. Let’s pray to keep our eyes fixed on Him so that we can behold every moment.”
.
“From HRT-
Is alignment with God our source of power and purpose?”
That made me think of a car that is ‘out of alignment “. The way most people describe that is, “It pulls to the right,” or “It pulls to the left” to indicate to the mechanic where the problem lies. Canaan’s question is a great diagnostic tool for us! Am I allowing sin to pull me one way or the other off of the path God has me in?
.
Love, hugs, and prayers! ❤
I love the alignment analogy! ❤️
❤ thanks! ☺
What a truly beautiful teaching moment for both Kim and her little girl…a nice reminder for me as I tend to my little 19 month old grand-daughter, who copies everything she sees!
.
I cringe as I am reminded of how often my reaction has been to focus on the rules – focusing on one side of a circumstance causing me to miss out on lessons to be learned, blessings, and missing out on God’s purposes altogether.
.
These Jewish leaders missed out on the power and wonder of who Jesus was & the miracles He performed because they to busy focusing on the wrong thing.
.
So I am very thankful for this study and for the book of John that reminds me that I too, if I’m not careful can have a Pharisaic heart.
.
My daily prayer is that I will keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith.

Another verse that stood out to me, John 5:39-40 – just because one studies the scriptures and maybe even knows them through and through, doesn’t make them saved. They have to believe and receive in order to have eternal life.
—
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:1-2

Happy Monday She’s!
I am SUCH a rule follower…
What a tender, sweet story of the innocence of a child, wanting to be like Mommy.
So,so many years of waiting for a miracle but a faith, perhaps just hanging by a thread is still there. And, Jesus asks the man to now live a changed life – a life that honors and glorifies God. This just reminds me that gratitude and praise is so important despite the struggle and even in the waiting; to not miss a moment of how God is at work as said in the devotional:
“Let’s pray to keep our eyes fixed on Him so that we can behold every moment.” These verses tell us of the miracle but we all know that may not happen, but it does not change who God is. In the waiting we can still live with a faithful hope, a steadfast trust and a heart of thanks always giving praise and honor due to the Lord. This is great challenge for me in these days. Lord, find me faithful as i wait on you.❤️
We’re told to walk by faith and not by sight (2Co 5:7) because when our eyes are faith-filled, we see the divine. We see God.
My prayers are often for God to keep my eyes up on Him. I don’t want to miss God’s faithfulness, His purpose for me, His love.
My takeaway this morning is that blessing follows obedience. Take up your mat! Stretch out your hand! Come and see! What is Jesus trying to “lift me out of? To call me away from? To get me to surrender? I have to have a difficult conversation with my daughter today and it is causing me some anxiety because I am afraid of her reaction. (She is scary! lol) Prayers appreciated!
@Adrienne – I responded to your question about resources on yesterday’s thread:)
I will be praying for that conversation – may all go well!
Thanks, Tami. I’ll check it out.
.
Two weeks ago, the sermon “title” was “Blessing Follows Obedience”. Coincidence that this keeps popping up for me? I think probably not!
Praying, Tami, for your conversation with Chela – for your approach and words, and for her hearing and understanding.
I find that thought…obedience brings blessings often in my Bible study
So, although I always love the story of the healed man at the pool of Bethseda, I can’t help but wonder about all the others that had gathered there as well, probably for a long time themselves. Were they like me, when I attend services where the preacher prays for healing and some might receive, and I am disappointed that I didn’t get miraculous healing for long time chronic back pain for over 21 years now. My mind can’t help but wonder what made him go to the one man and not look around at all and say “ya’ll are healed!” lol. Regardless though, I DO know he CAN heal, and we all receive physical healing if not here, when we pass to heaven!
Loved the devotional’s thoughts by Kim. It is true that we often question things rather than look for the big picture. Lord, give me “slow to speak” patience, opening my eyes to look beyond rather than drawing my own conclusion.
In John 5:14 “See, you are well. Do not sin anymore, so that something worse doesn’t happen to you.”
“so that nothing worse doesn’t happen to you”- Wouldn’t that make him think that it was his sin that caused his handicap? Would it scare him to death to not make any mistakes, that he might be worse off than before…?
Just thoughts that go through my head while reading..
All these passages are so good in The Chosen! They are all on Prime. It’s a great time to start watching the show if you haven’t!
Hi Rhonda – I had the same thoughts as you as I read, especially about why did Jesus tell him to go and sin no more or things would be worse. I actually looked it up and this is what I found: Jesus told the healed man to “sin no more” to warn him that his physical healing would be insignificant if he continued to live a life of sin, as a worse, spiritual fate could result. The command implies a need for authentic repentance and a new, changed life of holiness after receiving divine mercy. It emphasizes that the greatest need is not just physical healing but a transformed relationship with God, free from the eternal consequences of sin.
My takeaway this morning is that blessing follows obedience. Take up your mat! Stretch out your hand! Come and see! What is Jesus trying to “lift me out of? To call me away from? To get me to surrender? I have to have a difficult conversation with my daughter today and it is causing me some anxiety because I am afraid of her reaction. (She is scary! lol) Prayers appreciated!
@Adrienne – I responded to your question about resources on yesterday’s thread:)
I love that…what is God trying to “lift me out of? To call me away from. To get me to surrender.” But oftentimes I feel like the lame man that can’t make it to the pool and can only lay there and wallow in myself and troubles. Lame. But God!! He has brought SO much out of my back issues since the beginning. Having been born with scoliosis. We ask why, but more so we should ask…Despite this…what do you have for me?! How can I use what you have given me!? Don’t listen to what the devil tells us! Don’t engage with him! Lord, heal me, but until then, use me as your instrument!
Thank you for looking that up! I do remember that now! Same with the many lowered through the roof…the healing of our Spirit is the most important.
I am so happy about your husband and you getting to have therapy!! It really is so helpful. My sister actually was able to “question” my hubby of why he feels as he does, and since it was in an unthreatening atmosphere, he really was able to voice some of his feelings. It is so helpful for both of us!! (anything that can help driving arguments, lol!! is good!) It made us have a lovely drive home for once together!
Prayers for your conversation with Chelia. (I forgot how to spell her name?)
I was contemplating some of the same things as you. Praying Jesus reveals His truth to us❤️
I felt this way when Tanner was denied the stem cell transplant. 6 young adults were placed in the trial and Tanner was denied. It was heartbreaking and a death sentence. I’ve had to wrap my head around that maybe God was protecting him from further suffering. It’s the only way to not become bitter about it. And I certainly don’t want to do that. Not worth living the rest of my days angry.
What beautiful insight my friend. We all were praying for a miracle for Tanner and you. It is so hard when it doesn’t happen, yet…he went to SEE and Be with Jesus! We have to cherish that! And soon we will be there too! You are such a testimony, and I still believe God is wanting to use you in a big way for mothers going through unwanted diagnosis and struggles with their kids. I follow a lady on FB that has a daughter with cancer, and I have been following her for at least 3 years, and it seems like it is bad news, after bad news. Her little 10 year old can’t seem to catch a break. I can’t imagine…but you can. They need your words of going through the battle.
❤❤❤
Ah, yes – the “why question”. It’s easy to ask that about every circumstance in life, right? Why did she get the promotion and I didn’t? Why was his life spared and not this one’s life? or the question I so often ask – “why are all their kids walking with the Lord and two of mine are not, why didn’t you work in their hearts Lord?…I guess it all comes down to the sovereignty of God. He has His reasons, and as Psalm 115:3 says, “Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him.” Sometimes that’s hard to accept, but we must.
❤
Today’s devotion reminded me of the days following our house fire last year, when I finally was able to retrieve my Bible— damaged by water. It was my trusty, well used and well loved Bible, now damaged. But inside me a thought came “You are missing the point— it survived. Unharmed except for some water damage. Just live you survived.” I now have a new Bible that my pastor gifted me, but I keep the damaged one as a reminder that sometimes we miss the main message when we focus on our circumstances. May we always have God’s discernment in every aspect of our lives.
Yes, I can only imagine how you would see all the loss, but even here, you never seemed to do that. I remember being amazed at that! I can’t imagine loosing all my stuff. Well…actually I can imagine water ruining things. With the hurricane 3 years ago, one storage tub had all my sons school year photos and school papers. I had narrowed it down over the years to my favorite and most important ones, and they all were soaked from the high waters. But that was just one little tub, not a whole house. So you were thought of and prayed for often over the last year Maria!
❤️
That is a great lesson for us all!
Your testimony after such a trial is a beautiful example and so encouraging Maria. Thank you❤️
I really wish I could summarize so simple and beautiful! I was NEVER good at those exercises in school…Sum up what you just read! lol.
So good! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, you are an inspiration, Maria! ❤
beautiful perspective! ❤️
Good morning. Ladies can you please pray for my friend JoAnn? I got a message last night she had an accident at home and fell and broke her neck. She had a plate put in and is in the ICU. She can feel her arms but not her hands, fingers or legs and they’re not sure if it will come back. Also, my daughter, Sydney is due early November with her second child. We are going down to NC for a month to help her. Please pray for a healthy delivery for both and that she can breast feed. She so desires to do so. She was unsuccessful the first time despite seeking lactation support and all the remedies suggested by her Dr and her peers (Shes in the medical field). I was the same way. Thank you and I’m always praying for this group and prayer requests though I don’t comment much. Have a blessed day.
Oh my goodness! I will definitely pray for JoAnn, asking God to heal her. And I’ll pray for your daughter to safely deliver a healthy baby and be able to nurse.
Just as the man was able to pick up his bed and walk, I pray that JoAnn, when God heals her, is able to walk and tell others who worked a miracle in her life.
I will pray for both of your requests
Ogmgosh, Joanna! That is scary, I will indeed pray. And for your daughter.
Praying for JoAnn echoing the prayers here! That she will get up and walk! And for your daughter!
Oh my…how scary. Have prayed for JoAnn and for your daughter as well.
Oh my – how awful! I will be praying for JoAnn’s healing and also for Sydney. I know that it can be heart breaking to a mom to not be able to breast feed. Praying that it will be completely different this time and that it all works out.
Praying
Joining in prayer for JoAnn and Sydney! ❤
Praying, Therese, for JoAnn’s full recovery. Also praying for your daughter’s deliver, baby’s health and nursing ability.
Thank you everyone. ❤️
Teresa, I’ve been so distraught since I found out I didn’t even put the two together about the paralyzed man till you mentioned it. Thank you for pointing that out.
❤️
The beauty of Jesus healing miracles is something I’m so thankful we are able to read about time after time in the Bible! It provides hope in those seemingly impossible situations, but God operates outside of time. He still does miracles today ladies!! Not sure if I shared this yet, but my nanny kiddo’s grandpa, Paul who was diagnosed with stage 4 of a rare lymphoma in January and underwent a bone marrow transplant in June is completely in remission! There were nights when the family & I sobbed together thinking he would pass away and yet still praying for a miracle. It has healed something inside of me as someone who lost her own dad to cancer as a child seeing God move & heal Paul. “On time God” was our song throughout this season. Praying this gives someone encouragement & all the glory to God our Father!
Hallelujah for God’s healing power!
Thanks be to God for His mercy!
Thank you for sharing, yes I need to hear that. One of our butterflies has stage 4 cancer that has spread many places, I am still praying for a miracle. We can never hear of his miracles too much!! It gives us hope!
Praise God! What an amazing testimony of God’s power!!
What a blessing to behold, Susan, and I am thankful for the healing in your spirit.Two miracles in one! ❤
Praise the Lord!
What an important lesson. I, too, have a toddler who sometimes does the sweetest things that look on the outside like messes. May God grant me the eyes to see Him in every area of my life.
Would you also all pray for the sale of our house? A possible wrench gas been thrown in the gears of the sale and I’m quite nervous. May God’s will be done, but if this wrench could be removed that would also be wonderful. Thank you!
I’m praying for things to work out and for your house to sell soon.
Lord make the way clear of anything from a successful sale.
Praying that this “wrench” won’t make a bit of difference in the sale of your house.
Praying for the sale of your home
Praying that this contract sails through or if not that a better offer is waiting in the wings! ❤
Amen!
Jesus seeks out the broken — He initiates healing and offers restoration.
.
He provokes confrontation when people are more concerned with rules than with mercy and truth.
.
His identity is not hidden — Jesus explicitly reveals Himself as the divine Son, the giver of life and judge of all.
.
Faith in Jesus is the dividing line — those who hear and believe have eternal life (v.24)
Thinking of Walk With Jesus by Consumed By Fire, (written by Don Koch, Jordan David Ward, Caleb Paul Ward)
Last 1/2 of 1st verse –
I might not have all the answers
But I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
There’s a better path with Jesus
There’s no going back for me
.
John 5:23 b
He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
.
Brought to mind those who believe in God but not Jesus …
.
The scribes and the Pharisees, how hard their hearts were. Seeing the withered hand restored before their eyes at Jesus’ word, rage consumed them rather than awe and wonder.
.
SANDI – praying for sister’s friend’s husband, for non surgical solution
CEE GEE ❤️ thankful all went well and that you held up beautifully ❤️
TAMI CUTLER ❤️ the most awesome news! Praising the Lord for your husband’s willingness to take the course so y’all can learn together.
ADRIENNE and RHONDA J – our husbands may be triplets :) I was just talking with someone over the weekend – she recently retired and his retirement is not far away – and she was thinking about just how much time they would be spending together when that happens. My 2 cents was for at least one spouse to volunteer or indulge in a hobby to allow a little separate time.
JESS KAMM – praying ❤️
MARIA J ❤️
I will pray for both of your requests
triplets..lol!
Love the song Walk With Jesus, and all their songs! May we all be consumed by fire!
Yes, so many DO believe in God–But the Name of Jesus…hits some buttons, and that’s when many don’t want that conversation! May we keep telling of Jesus!
❤
That caught my attention too, Rhonda… TRIPLETS. You’re so funny, Searching!
.
In all seriousness… Your note about the Pharisees. I don’t want a hard heart like theirs.
And for the retirement (and even before) BE SURE to make a dedicated space for each of you to have your own personal space( no matter the size…). In nearly 60 years of marriage, this has been an important decision… we both agree on this!!
Carol, I agree with you on that! 100 %!!! ❤ My husband, however, (one of the quads!☺) does not agree to that practice and no amount of encouragement could convince him to develop a hobby. He wants us to do everything together still after 50 years!
My husband too, CeeGee! He had to live away from us for a year… six months in a police academy and then six months before our house sold… I try to consider that. He hates to do anything by himself, which I think is funny because I would consider him an introvert!
totally agree, Carol! We still share ‘my’ office . . . :/
Praying for all the requests!
Wise words, as usual, sister! One of my favorite songs! ❤
Note: My husband is one of the quads! ☺
Joining in your prayer requests- those not listed as well- and thankful for your support yesterday. You sisters played a big part in my ‘success’! ❤❤❤
I just got that… quads… hahahahaha!
Quads! Strange thing, men. They seem to all (mostly) share certain characteristics, yet I don’t see that similarity in women. Thankfully we all have the Lord to guide us!
Lord help me to follow You ans You only. Forgive my sins. They are many. In Jesus name, Amen
Amen❤️
Amen❤️
John 6:19 “Jesus replied, ‘Truly I tell you, the Son is not able to do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son likewise does these things.'”
.
Although children copy what the adults in their lives do imperfectly, Jesus perfectly does what He sees His Father doing.
.
Also, Jesus repeated this phrase He said to the woman at the well when talking to the Pharisees, “Truly I tell you, an hour is coming, and is now here.”
In God’s kingdom, the dead (spiritually?) are being raised to life.

MARI V – continued prayers for your friend dealing with a hurt.

TAMI – so happy to hear there is some movement on gaining understanding for yiu and your husband. Praying thus course brings you together.
“Although children copy what the adults in their lives do imperfectly, Jesus perfectly does what He sees His Father doing.”
Excellent point, Kelly, thank you! ❤
Praying for these requests.
Thankyou
My nearly 2 year old great grandson, copies everything! He will repeat words, action, sounds. If he sees it, he can do or say it!
The other day as we travelled towards town, i mentioned raindrops on the window..
He said..”I not got raindrops on my window..” i smiled with joy that he had even used the word correctly in a sentence.
When i saw his mum the following day, she said he was looking out of the window of the car and said to her..”I got raindrops on my window..” she asked him where he learnt that big word.. he said ” Nana, showed me..”
Out of the mouths of babes!!!
.
We can often take their actions to be naughty, Lorenzo, kicked his wendy house door, his daddy told him off. He had seen me do it, not in anger, but lazyness, a small tap on the corner to close it properly.
Context, right..
.
Absolutely, ears and eyes truly need to be open, to the miracles and the extraordinary, if we are too into our own thoughts, we could miss these. And what a sadness, what a loss to ones heart, soul, mind, life!
God gifts us goodness every day. He gifts us the unimaginable, the ‘amazing, what, how did that happen’ too, oftentimes, we look for BIG when small will do, for its believing in the small, that the BIG can also be seen!
.
I am thankful that through the small gift, aged nearly 2, I can get to see more of Gods grace, love, light, and absolute glory..
My heart sings each day as I see Jesus at work in and around me in all aspects of my life and day..
.
BUT GOD..
.
It is well.
.
Amen.
.
Much love,
Tina..♥️
Lovely story, Tina ❤️ Their minds are sponges at this age! Amazing to watch them learn, and we get a lesson on being careful what we say and do.
Just came to mind that non believers watch us just as carefully as 2 year olds … be sure to honor the Lord in what we say and do.
So true! And ouch!
Yep! ☺❤
Yes, they are always listening and watching.
And I love what Searching said about non-believers doing the same. May i always be aware that my words and actions reflect on my Father to someone. May I carry His image with honor.
Tina, it is such a truth that God uses these precious little ones to ‘teach us a thing or two’! Happened in my life- and still does! ❤ thanks for sharing sweet Lorenzo with us!
There was a book we had at preschool… “Little Is Big with Jesus.” Amen!! ❤️
Amen
