Our yard is filled with 6,7,8 and 9 year olds (5 in all) running, playing and ministering to my spirit! What a funny statement!! But it happened like this...
One of the younger fell and got a really bad scrape on the knee. To which she came in crying and feeling really sad. I carried her, doctored up her boo-boos and told her to rest on the couch. The eldest came near and was looking for ways to comfort. (Which is her incredible gift from the Lord) She began reading a "Fancy Nancy" book to our patient. The two were smiling and bonding in friendship within a few minutes. I would imagine that if Jesus were a child again, this is probably what He would be doing :)
I'm thinking of the Samaritan and his kindness and finding that this same kindness can be found today in the heart of a beautiful 9 year old girl. I hope that I find that same sweet spirit in my own heart.....looking...seeking ways to minister comfort, kindness and love.
I've found that it's even more effect to minister outside of the church walls than within.
Lord, May our eyes be wide open and aware of our neighbor's needs today :)
