Lessons from the Littles: Praise with Gusto

praise

If you’re happy and you know it, shout Amen.  AMEN!

If you’re happy and you know it shout Amen.  AMEN!…

That was the spirited chorus of  my children shouting as we walked home from the post office this morning.  No ensemble could be sweeter.

Unbridled praise, with gusto — cried out to the world, and whoever happened to be walking along main street.  (which, in Tiny Town, happened to be nobody, but never mind that…)

My children are my teachers.  I want to be like them. To not care if anyone is listening, and if someone is, then “Hey, we have an audience!  Let’s shout it louder!”

Faith like a child… don’t stifle my praise.

Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.  Mark 10:14

    Amy my friend, you do such a wonderful job of turning simple occasions into profound experiences! I think I’m going to write “My children are my teacher.” on top of my calendar for this month.

    I hope to one day have that ability to priase unihibited, no matter who is around – it is so true that children can often be our teachers as much as we are theirs!
