Wise Words

A few weeks ago, out of the blue, Grace announced: "Jesus loves me!" He sure does. And if she grows up deeply feeling and understanding that love, she will have discovered the secret to true peace & joy! Tonight while I was laying her down, she told me (in Gracie terminology) all about how we are happy when we follow Jesus. How does she know all this stuff already? And, more importantly, how can I get her to remember it and live by it forever?!

She dozed off after we sang:

"I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in his ways.
I’m trying to love as he did, in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,

Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught."

It was a priceless moment.
