Reflections

Children were brought to Jesus that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked them, but Jesus said, “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.
(Matthew 19:13-14)

Lord, if it be your will, I would like to have these verses read at my funeral. It has always been my favorite passage. Please make me childlike, humble and trusting. Let me never turn away from a little child, for you will never turn away from me. Give me a child’s sense of wonder. Let me see your world as they do, with fresh eyes.
