Last night our family gathered for weekly Bible study. The children usually come donning pajamas and some are even put to bed here. My sister-in-law brought three of their grandchildren with her. Holden, all of two, was wearing Superman pjs complete with cape. He is literally faster than a speeding bullet. None of us can keep up with him and after a while, we all give up. (His plan works well, doesn't it?) He is everywhere all at once.
"Momette" as Laurette is called by the grands, found him investigating in a room alone and shooed him out. He ran to me, wrapping his arms around my legs, crying, "Save me! Hold me!" (If he only knew Momette and I were in this together.) As I looked down at his little face, I had to laugh out loud. The irony! Superman asking to be saved! I wish I had taken a picture, but the moment passed. Before long, Superman was asleep, his super energy gone until morning.
He will be grown before we know it. My prayer is that someday he will recognize his need of a real Savior.
Proverbs 20:11 Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright.
Matthew 18:1-5 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. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
