Come as a Child

“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” 
Mark 10:14-15

It was most definitely one of “those” nights.  I picked the kids up from daycare, and was greeted with a super-tantrum by Lexi, who didn’t want to put her coat on, even though I, as her MOMMY, knew better than her, that she needed to wear the jacket.  Hmm, you can catch the lesson there, I’m sure.  It’s pretty obvious.  Then, I picked Jonah up from his class, and he began freaking out because he wanted a piece of candy.
