I want to pay tribute to wonderful people I have known, the wonderful country in which I live, the communities in which I have lived, the churches who have claimed me as their own, the God who sends shivers down my back when I really give him a portion of my time—well, maybe not shivers but tears flow easily in some of those most priceless times.

Wonderful share Oneta. I’m wondering if your grand children are learning more modern Christian songs in Sunday school. I know when I helped with VBS and also in Sunday school in the past many of the songs they learned were still good just not old favs. I do think Jesus loves me should be essential and Seek aye Furst the Kingdom of God.
I love your grandsons choice of story. It was my fav too. My parents had a book of the story for us as kids with pictures and often read it. I think it fascinating b/c the children are drawn to Jesus. It’s innate weather they cane from good homes, and probably some from not so good homes, even then. They innately feel his loving gentleness and have a kind of faith that is perceptive and innocent. Which is wonderful. I remember the verse well since I was little. “Let the little children come to me & do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Thank you for sharing. Your grandchildren are so lucky to have you as a Grandma! Hugs and Merry Christmas
Yes, Mandibelle, they do know some more modern songs. Did you see “This Little Light of Mine” posted a few days ago. https://onetahayes.com/2018/12/11/jesus-the-light/ A couple more they have introduced to me are My Gift to You and Just Give Me Jesus. Wonderful songs. I mostly want them to know songs they can sing through life without all the lights, props, etc. It is amazing how little children are drawn by the story of Jesus. To me that is a confirmation of how everybody needs Jesus to fill up the “empty hole” in one’s heart. Nothing can satisfy like he can. But grown ups try so many ways – addictions and pleasure seeking according to cultures standards. Thanks, dear, for your sweet words.
You’re welcome. Have a wonderful Christmas!
