1 - A Child

"Train up a child in the way he should go......" Proverbs 22:6

Sometimes while in prayer I have to imagine myself floating in space about three hundred thousand miles from Earth before I can set my feet firmly in this world. There, as I look at the sun, moon, earth and stars, I realize the insignificance of myself in comparison to God, the Creator of these things. I am reminded that because of His mercy, I have finally found the reason for my existence and for the existence of all things. I reiterate my thankfulness to Him for opening my spiritual eyes to the Light of the world, Jesus Christ. And I thank Him that my Mom introduced me to Jesus when I was a child and then prayed for me those nineteen years I went astray.
