Pasta necklaces and little red buses

Matthew 18:3

And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven".



I have two little girls of whom I am Very proud, not only do I see them as a gift from God, but I have learnt so much from them.

My youngest brought home from school this week a little red bus she had made from a cardboard box and some string. She was so proud of what she had achieved (as was I!!)And couldn't wait to show her daddy what she had done and how it worked. This got me to thinking about my relationship with our Father - strange how our children can do this!!
When I sit down to talk to God is he proud and excited about what I have achieved that day, have I served him well in all I have done, have I done my best? And am I excited to show him what I have done with what he has given me?

She also recently made a necklace from pasta which was at a later date broken. She brought this to me to fix.....and I had to explain to here that I couldn’t fix it.
This was not the first time that one of my little cherubs have brought me something to fix, it sometime seems like a daily occurrence, they Always believe 100% that their daddy can fix anything and I have previously heard my eldest child tell her friends that her daddy can indeed fix anything!!
But time and time again there are things that I can’t fix, but they are never fazed by this or do they ever lose faith that the next time I can!!

There are so many things that we can learn from our children, do I honestly believe that my father can fix anything... he can move mountains, but can he fix my stuff?
The obvious answer is yes, but do I really believe it?
There are times when I have prayed about things and seen the miraculous occur but there have also been times when I have prayed and no answer seems to be forthcoming, there are also times when I have given up.

I have to learn lessons. God puts things before us to learn, he teaches us sometimes in the strangest of ways but He also puts it before us in the simplest of ways!
