The Faith of a Little Child

Do you ever feel like this?

Sometimes life feels crazy and out of control, and you wonder if you'll come through alive. That's when you need the faith of a little child. You can learn a lot from little children. Like being happy with something as simple as mashing bananas. Maybe your idea of happiness is not mashing bananas, and that's perfectly understandable. But you can enjoy whatever simple joys life offers you. (Such as watching your delighted little brother mash bananas.)

 Take a deep breath and enjoy the happy moments. This is the coat of many colors that Danny drew to illustrate his Bible lesson.

An illustration of Joseph in the pit. When I asked Danny what the pink squiggles were, he answered, "Worms". Love his imagination!

This picture reminds me of a line from a song: "I give Thee back the life I owe, that in Thy ocean depths its flow may richer, fuller be."

Back to work.

Oh dear. What do I do now?

Sometimes we just want to hide from all the problems of life.

But you can't stay under the table forever. Just keep going and laugh at the cameras.

"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."
                                                                                          (Heb. 12:1-2)

Keep looking up to our faithful God. He will see you through.
