So a tragedy of mass proportion happened Sunday night. Luckily for the fast thinking mom that I am, I quickly halted the devastation. Nickolas comes barreling in the kitchen with crocodile tears rolling down his cheek. "Buddy what is wrong?" Now at this point I immediately expected the classic response of "Jocie did ______!" I left it blank because at this point Jocie has done any and everything to make Nickolas cry. I was shocked when he cried, "Santa cancelled Christmas because of the snow!" Now at this point I immediately expected that his father said something to him to annoy the crap out of him. Then I heard the hanging of Christmas lights and realized his daddy was up on the roof. So I ask him to guide me to the problem and we land in front of the TV. Playing was Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. At that very moment what was on the TV was a reality to Nickolas. He truly believed that the play dough 1ft. Santa in front of him was cancelling Christmas. I hugged him and reassured him that after the next commercial break something amazing was going to happen. Luckily for us Rudolph saved the day and we survived the cancelling of Christmas. I think we easily forget how at such a young age our children believe everything they see and hear. Another example: I love soap operas. I know terrible. Such sin to watch that crap but man do I love it. I use to come home everyday and play my daily recorded show. Then suddenly I became bombarded by questions? "Mommy why is he in the hospital?" "Mommy why is she in jail?" "Mommy why does that man always kiss different girls?" Okay so you get the picture. I wish I could say I gave up the show but now it just plays after the little ones are in bed! It is true though that little ones can't separate real from fiction. They believe all words and all sights. I know for most of us we use this knowledge as a way to avoid bad case scenarios. No cussing, no fighting in front of the kids, and no yelling at the bad driver in front of us. Why don't we use it for a greater good? Tell them the miracles of God now so it infiltrates their hearts and resides permanently. Constantly praise God and glorify His riches He lavishes among us so they don't doubt at an older age. He is a King. He is our Saviour. He is in our soul. He is! He is! He is! What a better time to introduce your child to the truth of God then at the celebration of His birth? Daily talk about the baby in the manger and the miracle that started with Mary. God bless to all of my faithful friends and followers.
Romans 10:8-10
But what does it say? "The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,"
that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
