little children... & Russ

Luke 18:1617
But Jesus called them to Him and said, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 17 Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

God has a special place in His heart and in his Kingdom for children.
Children have little hang-ups about life's troubles, they don't suspend faith for philosophical reasons, they don't doubt just because they don't see, they receive discipline when they need it and recognize love when they see it.
And they grow.

I can't help but think of my buddy Russell Witek when reading about the faith of a child. More on Russ soon....

Father - bless me to bring children to know You. Amen.
