Man, I love being a babysitter. I find children as such a blessing from God. Working with children helps me relax from the daily strain of the world and its pressure. Looking at the faces of these children and realizing that we are in a fallen world just breaks my heart... There's a little guy down the street whose single mom smokes pot and drinks with children in the house, and my heart just breaks when I think about this little man's future. Its torture when I think about it. I wish I was as cheerful and youthful as my little buddy Ethan, he just sings about everything and doesn't really care who hears it =D. I think we need to be as enthusiastic about things as a child is. Matthew 18:1-3 says: "At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
This verse has stuck with me for a while now. Just as a child trusts his/her parents completely, we should rely on our Lord for the same. Take that leaping jump into the deep end of the pool without a doubt of fear or stress. Do I trust that the Lord will save me from drowning in the deep end? Absolutely, but I stress and doubt about it. Children are a blessing of peace, lest us not forget that.
To God be The Glory. Alex.
