The Children's Friend

Read:
Matthew 19:13-15

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." -Matthew 19:14

Bible In One Year: 1 Samuel 25-28

Today, people around the globe will observe the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great storyteller Hans Christian Andersen. The lessons and encouragement contained in his tales of The Ugly Duckling, The Little Mermaid, and The Emperor's New Clothes are still considered a great gift to children everywhere.

I'm reminded, however, that Jesus Christ is the greatest friend of children the world has ever known. No one has done more for them than Jesus.

When Jesus' disciples reprimanded people for bringing little ones to Him, the Lord said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven" (Matthew 19:14).

Jesus valued children as persons of worth. After His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Lord accepted the praise of children and reminded those who criticized them that God has ordained praise even "out of the mouths of babes and nursing infants" (Matthew 21:16; Psalm 8:2).

Companionship with the Savior is the privilege of everyone who trusts Him with the simple faith of a child. His loving arms and tender heart are ready to embrace every child who accepts Him. He willingly receives all who open their hearts to Him. He is the children's Friend. -David McCasland

O Jesus, You who once did say
To little children at their play,
"Come to Me, you will be blessed,"
So come to us and be our Guest. -Anon.

The Creator hides secrets from sages, yet He can be known by children.

Graphic by Billie

When thou catcheth a glimpse of thy natural sin,
To despaireth it's all that's contained within,
Come to me.
And I'll show thee a winter's leaf still clings to summer's tree.
When all thou canst do is watch it come,
And knowest it's ordained for thee to succumb,
Come to me.
And I'll show thee the forge that tempers will soothe thy burns.

When a trail of tears leads back to thee,
And not blame nor shame canst thou flee,
Come to me.
And I'll show thee how few despise a rose for the thorns thereon.

When is stained thy world that fateful gray,
And thy body bound holds thee at bay,
I'll come to thee.
And paint a portrait of life in the service of love.

GREAT LOVER'S DAY

Ok Amy, that is one day I like.. now, who here will find me a great lover? Last weekend Jen couldn't find me a date for the hot tub party, so I am guessing I am out of luck for the other, but can try can't I?

That picture is so nostalgic.. reminds me of one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE love stories/movies... Somewhere in Time..The music is great also.. ah, did I ever drool over Christopher Reever (and in superaman also)

Will try to come back later & do a decent job of reading the thread & catching up. Up to my eyeballs in housework & upgrading my online computer (more memory, adding hard drive, upgrading 98 to XP) and the normal "stuff" that occurs when Murphy lives with you 24/7

[DollyCali]

Reeves NOT Reever ---- aaargh!

[JustAmy]

Hey .... Argh.

DollyCali is calling you!! :)

[JustAmy]

Good morning, BG.
I heard that today is your special day.

Amy's Place is wishing you the happiest birthday ever.

[JustAmy]

[DollyCali]

Ok Amy --- good work lady.. is Arg my "hot lover"?

(I hope arg is a male BTW )

:)
