Little Children Brought to Jesus

Listen to the Audio

Recently one of our partners recommended that I watch the Chosen series. As I was watching there was scene where the little children come to Jesus and he has work to do, but he spends time with them and has them do the work with him. I was reminded that I need to be better at this with my own children. Sometimes I get too busy and don't make time for them when they ask to spend time together. 

In Matthew 19:13-15 it says, "Then people brought little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked them. 14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there."

Imagine going to God and trying to spend time with him, but he says he is too busy and has work to do. Thankfully God doesn't do this to us. Today's communion is a time of gratitude that God always gives us his presence. And we are asking for his help to be more like Him/Jesus and make time for the important people in our life even when it seems like we have a lot to do. We are also asking God to help our faith be more childlike and to have a childlike excitement for each day. 

Today's Health/Fitness Tip

When I had my gym we used to have a day called Play Like A Kid Again day, and we would play games like hopscotch, double dutch jump rope, and dodgeball. This day was always a lot of fun. As we get older we tend to stop playing like kids, and I believe it is an important part of our fitness. When was the last time you played like a kid? If it has been awhile make sure to start slowly!

I am praying for you.
