Today I looked into my six-year-old grandson's eyes and shared the wonder of discovering the world anew. He drew robots and lifeboats and mocked my efforts to draw like him, but very gently. Most of all it was the look of wonder in his eyes that charmed me. I hope I have captured some of his enthusiasm and will take it with me into tomorrow. How foolish people are to spend so little time with children. Parents these days are encouraged to spend less and less time with their children, because material things are seen as more important than they really are. A child doesn't need gadgets but time to be listened to. It's time you really made your child much more important in your life. Find time for your child by throwing out some glitsy gadget that gets between you and seeing the real wonder of being six.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
