From the mouths of children




My wife babysits our grandchildren and this past Friday as she was getting four year old Grace ready to go to pre-K I gave Grace a hug.  It was then I realized that because I hadn’t shaved (my day off) I might have been a bit rough when my cheek pressed against her, and so I apologized for being rough.  Grace said; “that’s ok we won’t give up on you because you’re family”.

Now isn’t that the essence of the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ?  God won’t give up on us; God won’t give up on humanity, because we’re family.  In the apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus he writes that there is one God and one Father of us all.
