A child's innocence

2 weeks ago, our niece celebrated her 12th birthday, back in India. We called her that morning and Bunny girl sang her favorite birthday song.

Later that night, during family prayers, Hubby prayed for our niece and said "Father, bless this child on her birthday and bless her year..."

Immediately Bunny girl turned around and asked him, very worried, "What's wrong with her ear?"

We then needed to explain to her what he meant.

Little children are such darlings and its at times like these we are reminded of how pure and innocent their hearts are. How awesome it would become if we could be like them again.

Matthew 18:2,3 (The Message Bible Translation)
For an answer Jesus called over a child, whom he stood in the middle of the room, and said, "I'm telling you, once and for all, that unless you return to square one and start over like children, you're not even going to get a look at the kingdom, let alone get in.
