Do you ever have those moments where you learn a lesson from God through your kids?
I have had many of those, but had one in particular recently.
On Sunday, we talked about labels that we give to other people and labels we have ourselves. Kind of like a judging the book by the cover. During the service I thought to myself, yeah I tend to do that... Be too scared to talk to someone because they look different than me, or are unsure how they will respond to me. How awful is that? I was reminded that it doesn't matter what they look like, I need to look at them like God looks at all of us, His Children.
Keeli really made it hit home later that day. There was a new family at church that day and they have a girl who is just a few months older than Keeli. After church, we were getting ready to leave. I realized that Keeli wasn't with us and I had no clue where she went. So, I went searching for her. When I found her, she was hugging this little girl whom she just met earlier that day! Wow!
I often times feel like she displays God's love better than I do. It doesn't matter to kids who their parents are, or where they come from. They just become friends so quickly. It touched my little heart to see Keeli showing God's love to another little girl. She probably doesn't even realize what she was doing, but it sure had an impact on me. Thanks Keeli for teaching me these lessons.
