Come to God, Through Jesus, The Messiah, as a child. Stay as a child in your
talks with the Lord. Speak from the heart as a child, thank the Lord as a
child. And above all, ask the Lord as a child, for pretty flowers, Smiles,
music to skip to, wind to fly our kites, and the soft summer rains to run and
play in. Small puppies and kittens to cuddle up to your face and smell their
innocence. The Lord hears and responds, I know, for I have touched the face
of God as a child, and he has answered many Prayers.
Love all, and have a Happy Chanukah, and a Merry Christmas.

When I look at a patch of dandelions, I see a bunch of weeds that are
going to take over my yard. My kids see flowers for Mom and
blowing white fluff, you can wish on.

When I look at a homeless person and he smiles at me,
I see a smelly,dirty person who probably wants money and I look away.
My kids see someone smiling at them and they smile back.

When I hear music I love, I know I can’t carry a tune and don’t have
much rhythm so I sit self consciously and listen.
My kids feel the beat and move to it. They sing out the words.
If they don’t know them, they make up their own.

When I feel wind on my face, I brace myself against it.
I feel it messing up my hair and pulling me back when I walk.
My kids close their eyes, spread their arms and fly with it,
until they fall to the ground laughing.

When I pray I say thee and thou and grant me this, give me that.
My kids say, “Hi God!!! Thanks for my toys and my friends.
Please keep the bad dreams away tonight. Sorry, I don’t want to go to
Heaven yet. I would miss my Mommy and Daddy.”

When I see a mud puddle I step around it. I see muddy shoes
and clothes and dirty carpets. My kids sit in it. They see
dams to build, rivers to cross and worms to play with.

Sometimes, I wonder if we are given kids to teach … or to learn
from? No wonder Jesus loves the little children!!

A princess is walking along a pond in the royal gardens when
she looks down and sees a really ugly frog. Picking the frog
up, she comments on the creature’s rather hideous appearance.

Princess: “My, but you are really an ugly frog!”

Frog: “I know, I know, I got a really bad spell on me.”

Princess: “Well I’ve seen frogs with spells but, none as ugly
as you.”

Frog: “Look, leave me alone my dear. I told you, it’s a really
bad spell.”

Princess: “Well even so, if I kiss you will you turn into a prince?”

Frog: “I don’t know dear, a spell this bad will probably take a
blow job.”
