Out of the mouths of babes

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. Psalm 8:1-2

But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple area, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they were indignant.
"Do you hear what these children are saying?" they asked him.
"Yes," replied Jesus," have you never read, " 'From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise'?" Matthew 21:16-17

I have really got to get one of those small recorders to catch my kids at their most precious moments. Today we spent the afternoon until bedtime tonight at Cathy's so that we could visit with Granny who was having a better day. So tonight we come home and got ready for bed. As we are laying in the bed having our nightly talk Brittney asked to say her prayers first. It was such a sweet simple prayer. She asked God to take Granny home to Jesus and to take good care of her and told him how we all wanted to come home one day. WOW!! This just really took my breath.

Just a few nights ago while we were at Cathy's, Blaine came up to me and asked me why Gaga was crying. My simple answer was she is sad to what he answered me "Is she sad because Granny is dying?" It is so fresh in our family after the passing of my Papa just a little over a month ago. It really seems so unfair that we already facing the same kind of grief again but in the midst of all this I am thankful. My kids - all of my kids - know something that even some adults have never been able to completely accept or understand. We were created to worship God and through Jesus Christ we will have eternal life - it really is just that simple.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
