Children! They are meant to be loved, not hurt. They are to be taught, not punished. They only want your memory, not your money. They cry not because of pain, hunger nor the need for the potty. They cry because they need and want your hug.
Children. They ask questions because they want answers; unlike you who answer so that there will be no more questions. They have no need for intelligent answers, just give them your attention. They treasure promises, so please keep yours. They will never leave you perhaps unless you first forsake them. You can easily expose their lies because they cannot lie well.
Children? While they change their toys often, the people whom they asked to buy remain the same. They do the silliest of things only to make you smile and hopefully melt your hardened heart. They want to have self-control but sometimes they just cannot help it. The world may encourage novelty; fortunately or otherwise, their world tends towards constancy. Hold your scoldings for their desire is just the comfy small space of you and them.
Children do want to forget but you cannot blame them for having a good memory. Children say the darnest things because they are not confined to society’s protocol. Children are not through accidents or purposeful acts – they are God’s gifts.
Children are called in accordance to your whims for they are to behave like adults when you want them to be sensible. Adults? Whatever happened to the children they once were...
it's okay if you can't see the road ahead, just make sure God is still in sight!!
In His time, in His time,
He makes all things beautful in His time.
Lord, please show me every day,
As You're teaching me Your way,
That You do just what You say, in Your time.
In Your time, in Your time,
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord, my life to You I bring.
May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing, in Your time.
