Welcome My Dear

Mark 9:36-37

"He took a little child who he had placed in their midst. Taking the child in His arms, He said to them, "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in My name welcomes Me, and whoever welcomes Me does not welcome Me, but the One who sent Me."

4 Year Old Wisdom

Convo between my nephew and his mom today as she was talking to him about listening to his parents:

"Sometimes Auntie Jo tells me what to do."

"Well, yes. You need to listen to Auntie Jo, too."

"But Baby Cousin isn't going to listen to Auntie Jo."

"Well he has to because Auntie Jo is his Mommy."

"Well he's not going to."

Oh, 4 year old wisdom! Most likely he will not. Darn that fallen human nature of ours! But for those days, I pray that I have as much patience for him as my Heavenly Father has with me.
