Frank and Sockmonkey crunching some numbers. If you want a boy to be an engineer, you have to give him number-beebers to eat as soon as he has a tooth!
(I’m prejudiced, of course ... if you have a baby or grandbaby or anything like that, he or she is perfect, too!)
Yes indeed - all the children are perfect!!! ANd, here is the thing - We are children in God’s eyes! We are perfect before him too!
Yes we sin, we get lost, we get confused, we hurt others and we are hurt by others, we suffer, we grieve, we are broken, we struggle, we worry, we get motivated and do some incredible things that benefit others and ourselves...but in essence, we are all God’s children and He loves us so!!! Much more than we love our own earthly children.
Which is why, I believe, He is pulling out all the stops to see to it that as many as possible come into His Kingdom, His “Ark” that is being prepared for the coming day of destruction just as Noah and his ark were prepared for his day of destruction that came and swept everyone away except for Noah, his family, and the animals he had with him.
Yes, evil is on the rise.
Yes, the world is fast moving towards its “conclusive” chapters of history.
Yes, our own nation is in the midst of a spiritual battle the skirmishes of this battle being evident every day here on FR in our headlines.
But we know we belong to God. When we are “right with God” = (have received His Son Jesus as our Savior) = we know that we are totally and completely forgiven for everything and that we will live eternally with God! And so will our beloveds as we ask Jesus to bring them into His kingdom too.
(And, of course, all children are literally in His Kingdom now - we see this in their faces and in their eyes and in their sweetness).
Thanks again for this picture and your comments.
God bless!
LOL - number beebers! LOLOL!
