There are few material things that I have that are priceless, but this is one of them…
a simple piece of paper, with scrawls of crayon from a child’s hand. I found it after church one day. The pews were empty and I was alone with my thoughts. I asked my boys if it was theirs but neither claimed it. I couldn’t bear the thought of mindlessly throwing it away, so I stuck it in my purse.
Weeks later I found it and put it in my Bible, as a reminder to myself from the mouth of some babe, that I’m special to God. I am a child of The King. I am an undeserving lowly heir to an eternal inheritance.
A gentle reminder that even though I age a little every day…I’m still weak and vulnerable and nothing without Him. And even on my greatest day in my best penmanship, my words probably wouldn’t be as eloquent or readable as these. So I keep it.
I don’t know where you are today or what you wear to church or how you explain the unexplainable, but I hope you know that there is still goodness. Lots of it, free for the taking if we take the time to seek Him and trust Him through the hand of a child.
Blessings my friends!

So true. I can’t bear to part with the little gems of truth my kids have scrawled over the years during their homeschooling days. Reminders of simple faith, really.
Sweet. We surely need to remind ourselves of that simple truth each day.
On another note, the picture looks like you taped it to one of your cats. God loves them, too, ya know.
What a sweet story. A lot of people would have walked on past the paper. It obviously touched you.
Aneta–gems of truth indeed! The sad part is I’m surrounded by them, but don’t always see them.
Aunt Sissy–Ha ha…don’t tell PETA.
Monny–I’m touched, no doubt.
Thanks for stopping and sharing gals. Many blessings. Sis
