This will be the last writing for a couple of weeks as we are completing our fall semester and entering Christmas break. Kinsey and Jordan are hoping Mr. Claus did not take it personally when little Owen stuck out his tongue on his very first visit to Santa.
I was at Emory the other day and overheard a patient with a big white beard say, “I was at a restaurant and a little girl came running across the room, jumped up in my lap, and started telling me what she wanted for Christmas.” I’m not sure what every Santa Claus feels about children, but it looks like the one holding Owen really enjoys his work.
The ultimate Friend of children once overruled His disciples’ objections and said, “Let the little children come to Me!” He wanted to bless the little ones.
“Here is a beautiful creation of My Heavenly Father… one who will live forever! I want the blessings of God to cover this child. I want this little boy (or this little girl) to know the One who formed him in his mother’s womb. I will ask My Father to protect this child from the plans of the evil one. He wants the worst for children… My Father wants the best. Children are always welcome in My Father’s house!”
May God bless you all during this wonderful season!
“Then little children were brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them. Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to Me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’ When He had placed His hands on them, He went on from there.” Matthew 19:13-15
