Our little granddaughters...I could write a book about them. Ages now 25 and 23...

THE LITTLE ONES WE COME IN CONTACT WITH.

Have you ever been in a grocery or department store and passed a cart with a little child in it, shopping with its mother? Do you speak to or smile at the little one? Every time you see one?

I must admit that I didn't, usually...but my husband always did.  I love babies and little children dearly, but I usually just kept shopping and trying to remember what I forgot to put on the list. lol  Sometimes I thought that he shouldn't do that so much.....it might strike fear into the heart of the mother, with all that is happening to little ones in our country today.

But...can you imagine Jesus ignoring a child?  I can't!  

Children have bad days too.  That lady pushing the cart may be a baby sitter instead of the mother.  They may be with a mother who ignores them a lot.  They may be  abused children where the only attention they get is when they do something bad.  They may be feeling bad.  Any number of things can cause grownups or children to be having a bad day.

 It may be where you can only give them a smile and a wave of your hand and then...there may be times when the circumstance is where you can talk to them.  We can bring joy for a moment and we don't know just how small an act sometimes might change a person's life,even a little person... 

 I have decided, after watching my husband all these times, that I am going to do like him and show every little one I come close to, no matter where it is, some little bit of attention.  How about you? Every little child needs to feel important. If more of us did this...what a difference it might make in the life of a little child.

What some finite minds

Cannot understand every aspect of...

They fight against or ignore

To their own detriment!

WOMAN: HOW GREAT THE POWER OF THY INFLUENCE!

What is the greatest influence in a child’s life? Is it his school friends, the books he reads, movies he sees. As great as these influences are, they do not even compare with the influence of his mother.

The mother’s influence is even greater upon children than the father’s influence. Why this is, I do not know. It may be because of the time she has to spend with them compared to the time the father has to spend. This we know that God intended (Titus 2:3-5).

The liberal view of the enhanced interrogation just absolutely baffles me. It was explained that it did not meet the definition of torture, but they still cling to the idea that it is torture.

It was also explained that there was a doctor in the room to make sure the terrioists (that's the ones who want to destroy us, folks!) are not in any iminent danger. There's a doctor in the room! There's also a doctor in the room when a little baby is sucked from its mother's womb in several pieces...and they don't give a rip (pardon the pun) about that, yet they worry that a very bad person is going to be made uncomfortable! How can this be?

You just can't destroy the sanctity of life in our country and it be the same ever again. There are many other things that can come to pass in a country that is going down!  How long will God have patience with a country that will destroy its young?  According to the prophets in the Old Testament, He does come to the end of his patience.
