On the way home from a family camping trip, 6-year-old Tanya and her dad were the only ones still awake in the car. As Tanya looked at the full moon through the car window, she asked, “Daddy, do you think I can touch the moon if I stand on my tiptoes?”
“No, I don’t think so,” he smiled.
“Can you reach it?”
“No, I don’t think I can either.”
She was quiet for a moment, then she said confidently, “Daddy, maybe if you hold me up on your shoulders?”
Faith? Yes—the childlike faith that daddies can do anything. True faith, though, has the written promise of God for its foundation. In Hebrews 11:1, we read, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Jesus talked a lot about faith, and throughout the Gospels we read of His response to those who had great faith.
When a paralyzed man’s friends brought him to Jesus, He “saw their faith,” forgave the man of his sins, and healed him (Matt. 9:2-6). When the centurion asked Jesus to “speak a word, and my servant will be healed” (8:8), Jesus “marveled” and said, “I have not found such great faith” (8:10).
When we have faith in God, we will find that all things are possible (Luke 18:27)
Good morning! Rainy here today and cool. Have a nice Saturday everyone!
Psalms 118:24 “This is the day which The Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it.”
Love this, Amy!
I went on Twitter to follow: Michelle Malkin, Newt Gingrich, Mark Levin and others.
I got somewhat chagrined when I found some guy going by “fewz” on Twitter. Not only did he have my screen name but I’m considering changing mine on Free Republic so as not to be confused with him. I had to use “slofewz”. I would have gone back to AL_Possum39 but it sounds too middle eastern.
I checked to see how many other names I could find and I found a “Meg33”, a “jaycee”, a “yorkie” but I didn’t find a “JustAmy” so you must have Life Lock or something to protect your screen name.
DANG! I missed Caturday!
I forgot my password, asked them to email it to me, & finally remembered it. So I hope I will continue to be able to get on here!
Lunch time, TTYL, Tina
