Kids need Love Too

/ pastorpete51 / 1 Comment

Though my main focus has usually been with people in long term care, I was so touched by Cindy Dawson’s article today, that I am reposting it for those readers of mine who are not familiar with her. You can find her blog, “Real Christian Women” by clicking here. I like most of all, how Cindy has not only portrayed the sad reality, but has challenged each of us to find some way to personally respond. Why not take some time today to pray and ask the Holy Spirit on how that might be played out in your own community and neighborhood?

All Kids Need Love

Moments of Laughter

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments 
In moments of laughter, we ran out to see
 Like children wondering all that might be
Hiding in secret down under old logs
In treetops or ponds where we used to catch frogs

And when day was done, our dads started calling
“Come in for the night, for the darkness is falling!”
We came traipsing home telling all we had done
Our adventures with spiders and races we won

And mom in the doorway would patiently listen
Then say, “Go scrub those hands till I see them glisten!” 
And Dad picked us up to come sit in His chair
For that time which was best was our moment in prayer

Before We Had Faces

/ pastorpete51 / 12 Comments 
Before we had faces
And we had no voice at all
Then no one else could see us
 When we were small – small – small

God took the plans He’d made
And put them out to see
To show to all the pattern
He would use for you and me

Then stamped His image on our hearts
And signed the bottom line
So we would be delivered
Just exactly in His time!

For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
Psalm 139:13 NIV
