BLESSING OUR CHILDREN
The community of Pastor Tom Erickson has a public
Library that created a popular children’s program called “Dial-A-Tale.” Anytime children want to hear a fairy tale, they
just dial a certain number and a friendly voice reads a short fairy tale to the
excited and expectant child. However, Dial-A-Tale’s
number is only one digit different from Tom Erickson’s phone. Because young fingers make dialing errors, Tom
often gets calls from children listening expectantly for a fairy tale. After several unsuccessful attempts to explain
this to small children, Tom felt he had only one alternative. He obtained a copy of “The Three Little Pigs,”
and set it by the phone. And now, whenever
such calls come in, he simply reads this children’s tale.
How nice is that?
The Word reveals God’s keen interest and love for all children. We adults must be proactive in transforming
young minds and spirits by embodying genuine love, kindness, compassion and
wisdom. There is truth in the saying
that ‘It takes a community to raise a child.’
Whether they are related to us or not, whether they meet our personal
expectations or not, we must reach, touch, bless and transform young
impressionable minds with a lasting legacy of heartfelt love.
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and
please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING.
Maranatha!
