Matthew 19:13-15 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
Every time I read this passage of scripture tears well up in my eyes at the importance that children held in the heart of our Lord. Can you imagine what it was like to a little child in the arms of our Savior? I love what the last part of the verse says"..he laid hands on them, and departed thence." As I was reading this I realized that we sometimes overlook the importance of our children to the kingdom, and the church. But Jesus clearly said "for such(the children) is the kingdom of heaven." I am so blessed to be a small part in the lives of the children here at Grace and to be able to teach them, pray for them and help them. God has blessed us here at Grace with some wonderful children, all of whom Lesa and I love as our own. We ask that you keep them in your prayers that God will use our children to be the Godly generation that our country and world so desperately need.
I want to remind everyone that we will be meeting at the church on the 31st of October at 5pm to have a family fun night. It is a chance to get together and fellowship and allow the children to play and have fun together. We will send out a note to help remind everyone, but please mark your calendars now and come out and enjoy a night with your church family. We always have a lot of fun, and we will miss you if you are not there. Hope to see you then, God bless you all.
