Gospel Day #19

"Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19:14

Jesus loves kids. He said heaven is for people who are just like kids. When I think of my kids I would describe them as: trusting, in need of care and protection, sometimes helpless, full of love, painfully honest about their emotions and unpredictable. Thank God heaven isn't for perfect, well-put-together, in need of no-one and nothing, kind of people. What a relief.

"Father, thanks for making heaven for someone just like me - a big kid. I need your grace, mercy and help to make it through another day."
