Child of God


My refrigerator is covered with Aidan's artwork. Artwork from school. Artwork from coloring and painting at our house. But this one...this one right here...is a prized possession...this is Aidan's FIRST project from Sunday school. Our church recently shifted the kid's into the next level classrooms as they were older and ready to transition. When I went to get Aidan on Sunday this little picture was lined with the others in the hallway. I asked him why he had made a flame/fire on his paper and he said, "3 little boys were in the fire and God saved them".

What sweet words from the heart of a 2 1/2 year old as he recited the Bible story he had heard that morning. As a mother my heart's desire is for my precious son to grow up in the Lord. To know and claim the truth from His Word. To share his faith with others in his life. To live a life with the fullness and knowledge that he is deeply loved by his Father.

As I picked up this little piece of artwork from the hallway I gazed at my son and thanked the Lord for His handiwork and prayed that He move mightily in the heart of my Aidan. For He is at work in the hearts of even the little ones in our lives...

Our GOD is an Awesome GOD!!!! He is in every little detail of all of our lives, even little ones like Aidan. Someday he will come to learn the names of those 3 boys in the fire. Train him up in the Lord Ash, and he will make his path straight.
