"Jesus told his disciples tolet the little children come to him because the kingdom of God belonged to such innocents."

What qualities do you like and admire most in children? What childlike qualities do you wish you had?

I truly admire their enthusiasm and energy, their basic honesty, and their acceptance fo the world around them. I wish I could be more enrgetic and enthusiastic!!

Their faith. God said it, and that settles it. They believe it. Their prayers WILL be answered, no doubt about it. As we grow older, doubt begins to creep in, and we begin to lose our faith. Every time I read that verse, I ask the Lord to keep my faith in Him simple, trusting Him completely.

All of my kids are very loveable. They love to hug and touch and they feel for each others pain. Jalynn is like a little momma always looking out for the other two. Marques is a sweety. He has never met a stranger. He has always been teachers pet and Grandma's and auntie's favorite. Journey is something else. She is more of a loner but is very comforting. While going through those almost terrible two's she is so full of life.

Their honesty and simplicity. They are honest to a fault but sometimes it needs to be that way. They also don't complicate things like we do.They enjoy the moment and live for today. God BLess
