Count On Children To Sweeten Up Our Sour Days

On this Friday, I thought it appropriate to post Ramnath Subramanian’s encouraging article entitled, “Count On Children To Sweeten Up Sour Days” (sadly, the article has since been deleted).

Ram (for short) is a retired public-school teacher who writes for the El Paso Times on educational topics. His article provides refreshing insight into the innocence, straightforwardness, and frivolity of little children.

Ram's article reminded me of what our Lord said regarding the humility of little children:

Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me” (Matthew 18:3-5).

Beloved, we have much to be thankful for, especially in the form of our children, for they are not only our country’s future (Psalm 78:1-8), they are our legacy.
