Faith Like a Child
Nov 13th, 2008 by michelle
Tonight before bed, I asked my little girl, “Who loves you?” And she replied, “Jesus.”
I asked her several times to make sure I heard her correctly and every time she said, “Jesus.”
Remember, she is just 15 months old. It brings tears to my eyes…
What an absolute little cherub !
Look at those eyes! That’s wonderful that she knows who loves her!
I’m with Rebeca, I’m immediately drawn to her big, blue eyes! What a cutie!
God be praised! I’m so happy to watch Christian Orthodox parents raise their children with patience and with love that truly reflects the Love of Jesus Christ for Us. I regret that I was not an Orthodox Christian when my son was young, I feel that I would have done better as a mother because I would have been surrounded by so many mentors (members of the Orthodox church) Including the Blessed Virgin Mary, whom as protestant, I was not taught to revere.
Thank you, Michelle, for sharing your experiences with us regarding your mom’s illness and story about your precious little girl.
How precious that she knew that!
And what incredibly beautiful eyes!
Very sweet!
My own children have such unwavering and trusting faith that my own faith is put to shame in comparison. But it sure does make me realize how blessed I am, all unworthily, to be their mother and to lend a hand in raising them to be faithful Christians.
Love in Christ!
I remember how thrilled I was when my speech delayed three year old, when asked “Who is Jesus?”, replied, “The Son of God.”
