The Faith of a Child

My kids have made friends with the kids who go to after school care right behind our house. They exchange notes and play games or have water fights over the fences. We have had them over a time or two to jump on the trampoline and they all enjoy playing together and get along pretty well.

Yesterday, the kids made the effort to invite one of the girls and her mom to Wednesday night service. They came in all excited, needing me to write the directions to the church etc. When we arrived at church, there was their friend and her mom sitting in the second row! I have to admit, I was kind of surprised but very happy for the kids.

A couple of weeks ago, a special family from our church was commissioned to be missionaries in China. Over the course of the last couple years, the family has become very special to us. Four of their adult children will stay in the states and they will take the younger 5. They leave at the end of July and will be totally dependant on God for their every need.

The following Monday, after the commissioning ceremony, as we were praying for this family, Boop took it upon himself to gather money to send to the family. Of course, the girls were then motivated to gather some of their pennies as well.

Aahh, the faith of a child to follow God's so subtle promptings . . .
